Creatives with full-time jobs, is your agency open next week? Or I guess I should ask, are there projects happening next week? Trying to decide if it will be worth sending out job-search emails for freelance.

Kinda/sorta. Those who absolutely need to be online will be, but I think the majority are very casually working over the holidays, including myself. No one is permitted to be in office from now until Jan 5th and I don’t foresee anything major needing to be actioned before then.

Well that’s BS. I would expect there is exactly zero work going to be happening because all clients are offline (unless you have a shoot like early January). I’m sorry.

Open, yes, except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Projects are all the dump and runs that happen before our clients close for a week or 2.
