Creatives, what are you brought in the most to help with? (New business pitches? Relieve internal teams who hit wall on existing client? One-off projects with no retainer to hire full time?)

Lots of digital and shopper work. I’ve recently started writing for an independent production company, for the clients who have money to have a small something produced, but not the money for a larger agency to take them seriously. Lots of start-ups.

New business pitches and accounts that are in trouble. Occasionally brought in to guide scripts through production or to cover for CDs that are out.

Hi, mainly broadcast and web spots, one offs. Pretty wide budget range this year 50-500k. Ive helped a few in-house production companies prove to their creatives and clients that great work can be done internally, as I work with the exact same people that outside vendors do but have the relationships to get it done in a cost effective manner.

Mostly new business pitches or last minute/weekend work for me

Trying to find recruiting firms to help me find my next project / program management role. I'm struggling to determine which firms can help with PM roles AND I'm struggling to get the ones I do find to respond to me.

It may have something to do where I'm at in my career - 15+ years of PM experience & director-level roles at my last 2 companies - so more exec level but not quite C-Suite. Have one-off recruiters hitting me up on LinkedIn about contract PM roles but that's not what I want.

Hi fishes,

Had an interview with Hexaware and 3 days back HR1 called me and said she will send the offer letter next week. 2 days back HR2 called me and said a client interview is scheduled for you and I attended that. Now if I fail to clear the client interview round, will I not receive the offer letter that is promised by the HR1?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
