Not many companies are seeing growth during the pandemic, but Wethos is thriving. The company offers a platform where freelancers can meet and team up so they can compete for projects with big marketing and ad agencies. While activity on other gig economy platforms such as Uber and TaskRabbit are plummeting, Wethos is not. "Ad agencies are struggling right now," said Rachel Renock, its CEO and cofounder. With lots of infrastructure, their fees are high. Using remote teams of vetted independents who worked with agencies, lowers costs.
