The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the creative industry, with 80% of businesses reluctant to hire new talent. At the same time, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) faced increasing challenges in maintaining a digital presence due to limited financial and technical resources. RagTag was developed as a dynamic solution to bridge this gap by connecting young creatives, such as designers and marketing strategists, with SMEs. The platform fosters collaboration, driving job creation and economic growth through brand-driven projects. Embodying the spirit of togetherness, RagTag takes inspiration from the concept of a “rag-tag team” — people from different walks of life coming together to achieve shared success. By facilitating these creative partnerships, RagTag empowers both SMEs and emerging talent to thrive in an evolving digital landscape.
