Any tips for securing freelance work with US agencies when you live abroad? My work is pretty solitary and I could fly in for workshops or a major presentation.

Time zone will be the immediate challenge to your proposition, and I'll trust your take on solitary design work (agencies rely heavily on collaboration, which usually requires regular co-location).

Honest tip, find a way to maintain a US address and look for a WFH gig instead. No one says you actually have to live at that address, or defines where "home" is. Just make it easy for the company's paperwork and taxes filing. (Assuming you can legally work for a US entity.)

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
