Not too sure but the delay could be due to the new middle man — Atrium.

Omnicom is using freelance (I’ve been freelancing there. Depends on the agency. The talent aquisition team at the Omnicom agency will initially reach out to you then Atrium will handle the paperwork and payment. Any delays are most likely just at Atrium while they prep paperwork. Good luck.

What do you mean their new policy? Thought freelance hiring was mostly dead because they were going to move people around to avoid laying them off. If they are making $900 million in cuts 2026, they can't justify freelance, right? Sorry that you are in limbo.

au contraire. the more layoffs happen, the more freelance is needed because the clients still want the work. there's usually a gap between the layoffs and the panic to pull on freelancers, though. freelancers are also easier to pick up and drop during times of uncertainty.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
