Popular work messaging app, Slack, can credit its sleek and functional design to an outsourced company. This messaging service started out as an online game. With time, the company used outsourcing to hire Metalab, a designing company. This company redesigned everything that comprised Slack, from it’s website to its mobile app. This gave Slack’s founder, Stewart Butterfield, time to focus on his customers’ feedback and to create a great user experience. This led to the creation of the messaging service app that’s valued today at $2.8 billion.

Instead of finding where to promote his website, Kagan hired others (and asked for a favor or two) to get his ads where they needed to be.
