It’s my experience that most agencies are looking for teams only. Finding work as a single creative is really tough.

Freelancing could open up a few more doors as a single. Likely a huge variety of copy types you'd be asked to do, often short contracts. Keep in mind there's no renewing on that T5 - gotta find a company to sponsor you!

Some deets: 3.5 years in, currently working at a BTL network agency, but don’t necessarily want to transfer to the London branch and work on the same stuff. Open to freelancing.

I just moved here from Toronto, also in your situation. Currently being told you need to be in a partnership...

Ah in that case get outta here it’s hard enough without competing with another Canadian AD 😭

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
