I did a short gig back in the end of February. I asked for net 30 which they agreed, but haven’t gotten paid yet. I was lenient at first because of covid (they’re a smaller shop who does mostly experiential so I feel for them), so in the beginning of April I reached out and they told me I should get it end of month, but now that April is over they’re ghosting my emails. Any advice on what I can do? Thanks.

I recently was in this scenario and I wrote an email to accounting, cc-ed the owner, and added on every single person I had worked with there. I got paid.

Quickest thing is to mention legal action, and if you get no response have your lawyer write a letter. It’s business and you’re overdue on your payment. All love otherwise ;)

Second this. Just call up the lawyer you have on retainer and have them threaten someone you want to keep as a client with legal action in a small industry in which that kind of thing will get you blackballed in the worst employment climate in modern history.

Okay thanks for the advice guys! I won’t let this go, but also want to be sympathetic to a small agency during these times.

It’s good advice to make your emails to the agency more visible - the producer, the head honchos, etc. it’s professional and emphatic. In 20+ years in the biz I have never formally threatened legal action.
