They pay for it, don’t they? I don’t think you actually earn them.

I thought there was some kind of nomination and voting involved? Do firms just buy them for their associates?

“Win” = firm marketing dept nominates people and pays the fee to accept nomination

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
