Are we the only unfortunate ones or do you also deal with clients who talk like this? I cannot stand when the brief isn't clear, the client side is never free enough to sit down for a solid meeting to explain their needs, and yet they want the work done before the team even knows what the work is. How does your team deal with this usually? I almost want to rebel and not do anything.

"Every creative should work in an agency" Ran into this post this morning and wanted to share it here to ask if you agree with the stance. I'm one of the few people who went straight into a freelance lifestyle because I'd heard enough about agency shenanigans. I've had a considerable amount of success, but curious to hear from others if I truly am missing out on experiences and expertise I could only build up in an agency setting.

Therefore, I am open to relocation to any part of the UK.
