Allow us to
introduce ourselves.

Dawson was founded to find work for soldiers as they returned home from World War II, and we’ve been the employment experts in Central Ohio since 1946.


While temporary staffing is still part of our business, we have evolved into a full-service employment provider. Dawson’s Marketing, Creative, Sales and Strategy Division has been placing freelance, contract, and full-time professionals for more than 15 years. Our team brings firsthand experience from advertising agencies, retail brands, and corporate marketing departments – giving us a deep understanding of the skills, mindsets, and collaboration needed to build high-performing teams.


Today’s most successful organizations don’t operate in silos. Marketing builds demand. Creative shapes the story. Sales converts opportunity into growth. When these functions align, businesses don’t just generate leads – they generate results.


At Dawson, we deliver talent that connects brand strategy to bottom-line performance. Our Marketing, Creative, Sales & Strategy division specializes in professionals who drive awareness, engagement, conversion, and long-term client relationships.


Whether you need a visionary creative, a data-driven marketer, or a relationship-focused sales leader, we help you build a team that fuels measurable growth.
