Is a full-time new biz creative team a thing? If so, how does it work?

It works late.

All new biz works late. That’s why I’ve only ever seen freelancers on new biz. Wondering if any agencies have full-time teams dedicated (and ridiculously paid) to do new biz work.

That’s a hard sell. Given that the work created for most initial pitches rarely ever gets produced, I can’t imagine any team willing to sign up to merely do deck work. Then again, if you want to hire my partner and I for $250K, we’re all-in to help win the business.

I work along with another VD on the deck side of pitch work. We do the decks, the proposal submissions, the collateral like data information design, and we also help on creative concepts when extra support is needed. It may not be the most glamorous job, but it is a necessary one. And I will say it is definitely a beneficial and learning experience being on this side of the pitch process.

It was a thing back in the days. But usually the best creative teams are the new business teams. Oh and the “bonuses” that would come with it are long gone as well.

You need to be billable to a paying client(s) ASAP.

As in working on new biz concept designs for pitches or working with new biz directly? I do the latter.

Also agree with CD1. Works super late. Really makes me wish we could get paid for OT.

It doesn’t happen here. You need to be allocated to paying clients.

We have a strategist who only works on new business but it’s a new hire and my agency mostly does project work so we’re always pitching.
