ADVERTISING FREELANCERS: Does becoming a limited company affect your odds of getting freelance work? (if yes) how do others go about getting mat leave?

Context: I'm at the point in life where I'm thinking about having kids, and I don't think the government allowance would financially get me very far, so I want to change my company to an ltd. I've heard rumours that agencies only want to work with sole traders - is that true? If it is - how do others navigate mat leave?

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Lesbian Visibility Day. I was not aware this was a thing. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

All these announcers do is talk about how Aaron Rodgers is God… it’s worse than Brady.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

Has any freelance producers felt like it’s a quieter month or two right now and not getting work? Been looking for work and have never had an issue before. But striking out. Starting to get a little nervous. Any tips? Thoughts? Would love to hear the longest you’ve ever been out from work freelancing.

Anyone have a primer on working with children? From a business affairs perspective?

How important is a yunojuno account to Freelance in London? The site won’t let me complete my registration because they essentially require you to sign on with an umbrella company. Can’t sign up with an umbrella company because they can’t seem to confirm my identity through my Visa and resident card. I hold a foreign passport.

Can I work as a freelancer in London if I’m a US citizen?

Would anyone else like to see this group a little more active? Good freelancers are drying up in the UK!

Dunno if this bowl is at all active but interested in going freelance. Been on staff my entire career (12 years) and keen to try something new. Day rate for a senior creative with plenty of awards?

We tend to rattle between the same 3-4 agencies year round. How many places are on your ‘regulars’ list?

Is a unique tax number (UTR) required to freelance in the UK? I have a T2 work visa and a residence permit as well as a local bank account. I may have some freelance lined up but don’t have my UTR yet because I’ve only been in the country since February and haven’t had to file taxes yet. Will the agency ask for one?
