I’ve seen a lot of agencies bring in freelancers for new business work (either production or concept creating). Would you ever consider bringing in a new business consultant or pitch expert?

An agency I knew brought me in to change their pitch process and lead a pitch. I had a relationship with the MD lasting many years so he (mostly) trusted me. I do think many agencies would benefit from sales leadership consulting. This agency was missing so many of the pitch fundamentals (won the pitch by the way)

At a place with internal politics that hinder the pitch process. I could see this being helpful from an objective POV on how to approach a clients brief and win a large account

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)
