Hi ladies! I am a new social media strategist at a multicultural marketing agency in Chicago and I was wondering if you all had any advice about transitioning from freelancing to agency life? I’d love to hear about wisdom that you’ve gained and both positive and negative experiences.

Hi - first, white woman here. Please let me know if I am intruding! That said, a friend of mine is looking for CD CWs and she was really hoping to bring a woman of color into the role. It sounds like there aren’t even applicants. I racked my brain and while I know many who are in the art side, I don’t know a single writer. If you are interested, DM me your book! It’s a fantastic job. Also, I was wondering if there is a reason there seem to be less CD writer females of color vs art?
