How often do brands with internal agencies hire mid / high level commercial directors? Is it always on a project basis or are there any opportunities for ongoing FT / PT work? For reference my day rate is $15K-20K and I work on national broadcast spots.

They, like stand-alone agencies usually contract with a production company based on the director, the director’s treatment for the project and calls with the director and production company. While brands with internal agencies and agencies will occasionally hire a director it is very, very rare. More likely they may have a creative director who might direct a project for them.

I take it you aren’t affiliated with a production company?

Thanks I didn't realize the process was pretty much the same for internal / external. Yes I'm freelance now, taking a break from the roster world

Have you ever gotten work at that rate?

Yeah, brands don’t hire for this and would never get this type of budget approved for 1 person. They pay an agency if it’s a big broadcast spot and it’s rolled into the budget by the agency. And they have a Creative Director on staff for anything smaller so they don’t need to outsource this.

I am looking to leave my current position due to not having the opportunity to run campaigns and earn experience.
However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.
