Yup my last agency already cut a lot of freelancers (doubled the work of full-time employees) because clients won’t pay the freelance rates with tariff uncertainty looming

In a weird way the industry has needed a recession “reset” for 3 years. We need rates to dip and investments to start happening again. Brands have been sitting on cash for too long and hesitant to invest in advertising since 2022.

@Havas 1 I don’t think it’s quite that dire, but we went from being an industry that was all about work output to an industry that was all about appearing busy.

I hope clients have started to wake up to the fact that they don’t need to spend millions on teams that fart out 80 page decks, but on teams that actually make work that real people see. That’s been a huge moneymaker for the big holding companies and it does nothing for the work or client.

Today was my last day of work at the job I’ve been at for 5 years. Started doing deliveries again with UberEats and that’s a hit or miss. No demand and they just cut you off.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.
