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 😭
