Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:

- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!
