The company started 25 years ago in an attic in Gdynia, a seaside city in Poland. Today, it&#8217;s a global player in online marketing software \u2013 with freelancers contributing to that growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We spoke with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getresponse.com\/blog\/authors\/michal-leszczynski?p=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Micha\u0142 Leszczy\u0144ski<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Head of Content Marketing &amp; Partnerships at GetResponse. He told us about <\/span><b>how freelancers have helped the company grow internationally and stay creative as a team<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. His insights are a must-read for any business looking to break out of the usual patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going global, one freelancer at a time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expanding into international markets meant more than just translating content. To succeed abroad, GetResponse needed to <\/span><b>understand local cultures, customer expectations, and communication styles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 and bring that understanding into their marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foreign freelancers helped them do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When creating video content, for example, the team needed someone with a radio-quality voice and a native American accent \u2013 not easy to find in Poland. Hiring freelancers from abroad made this possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freelancers also helped them produce guides and webinars that boosted brand recognition in new countries. <\/span><b>For a company scaling fast, this external support proved incredibly efficient \u2013 especially in the early stages of market entry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fresh perspective that sparks new ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more deeply you&#8217;re involved in your own product, the harder it becomes to see it with fresh eyes. Freelancers offer that outside perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey bring in more creativity,\u201d says Micha\u0142. \u201cThey suggest ideas we wouldn\u2019t have come up with on our own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Working with external experts allows the team to test new directions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 even in areas where they don\u2019t yet have in-house experience. And if an idea doesn\u2019t work out, <\/span><b>it\u2019s easy to pivot without the long-term commitment of hiring<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Micha\u0142 puts it: \u201cYou can\u2019t be great at everything. But that doesn\u2019t mean you have to give up on new ideas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From e-commerce projects to online courses, freelancers helped GetResponse branch out beyond their core focus of email marketing, fast-tracking results without months of training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5191\" src=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/they-bring-us-fresh-ideas-and-point-us-toward-directions-we-never-even-considered-before-getresponse-on-collaborating-with-freelancers-case-study-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2112\" height=\"1118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/they-bring-us-fresh-ideas-and-point-us-toward-directions-we-never-even-considered-before-getresponse-on-collaborating-with-freelancers-case-study-1.png 2112w, https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/they-bring-us-fresh-ideas-and-point-us-toward-directions-we-never-even-considered-before-getresponse-on-collaborating-with-freelancers-case-study-1-1280x678.png 1280w, https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/they-bring-us-fresh-ideas-and-point-us-toward-directions-we-never-even-considered-before-getresponse-on-collaborating-with-freelancers-case-study-1-980x519.png 980w, https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/they-bring-us-fresh-ideas-and-point-us-toward-directions-we-never-even-considered-before-getresponse-on-collaborating-with-freelancers-case-study-1-480x254.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2112px, 100vw\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instant results vs. months of onboarding<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the team needs to get a lot done \u2013 fast.
