Exactly 6 months of freelance. Now permalancing. My book is killer, but production design / retouching isn't in-demand in the industry much.

Looking at new long term options in experiential agencies.

AD's and copywriters will always have work. The industry just got a bit unhinged in the last few years.

Getting your book, LinkedIn, and resume down are key. In that order.

Six years.

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?
