Why would anyone pick to hire an agency over a freelancer?
There are two main people that hire freelancers:
1) Agencies
2) Companies
Whatever side you are looking from, the benefits of an agency over a freelancer are clear.
A freelancer doesn't have any "bench strength". If you give them a job, there is generally a finite box in terms of what they deliver.
Freelancers tend to be proxy's whom you tell what to do. Whereas agencies tend to ask the question "What SHOULD I do?".
If you hire a freelancer they often end up being spread pretty thin. So you might have something that for you and your clients is a high priority, but because they have other clients, they aren't putting you to the top of the pile.
So to put a bow on it, its about managing deadlines, and having the control over the quality of work, having a deeper bench, and lastly an agency answers the question what should I do, instead of being told what to do.
