Most of my best work is protected by NDA or privacy law, making it very difficult to demonstrate industry proficiency and prominence. How are you building a portfolio?

I’ve told potential employers that I’m happy to share anything in public domain but much in the same way I wouldn’t break confidentiality for them, I can’t break it for current or former employers.

Most people understand.

The understanding has not been my experience.

Can you create blinded versions and use a passcode so what you are sharing isn’t publicly visible?

No. It's fairly identifiable even if you remove brands and other identifiers.

Privacy, proficiency, prominence, portfolio. Did you only buy the P in the Encyclopedia set?

The monthly dictionary subscription service discount is a thing when it's not billable to the client.

There are some aspects of this work that can’t be put into a portfolio, and most people who understand what you do would get that . You can always offer to complete writing tests, share sanitized work product, and back up your assertions with recommendations from former colleagues and clients. Even sharing articles and clips can sometimes be tricky, given that a lot of this work is sometimes keeping things OUT of the media, and it’s hard to prove a negative.

- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!
