As a freelancer, it’s very rare to be included or credited unless the assumption is that you will stay on or take fulltime if they win the business.

Depends on how far down the project you got involved. We had a freelance CD who was involved from conception to execution, though didn’t attend the shoot. They left shortly after the online lock. They got credited in the PR

As a freelancer your job is not about building your book or portfolio. It’s a switch from the focus as a staffed creative. It’s about relieving pressure on the agency anyway you can. The way you build your business as a freelancer is by executing that flawlessly. That could mean coming up with award winning stuff. Could be versioning dealer banners. The reason you will get call backs is if you made the lives of the people who brought you in easier.
Side note: what ever seniority level you go out at, you stay at too. If you do you move into a responsibility you’ve never had or know how to do and that will lose you contracts. Not worth the increased hourly.

I’ve been a CD longer than I like to admit- it’s an industry wide shift I’ve seen in the past few years that’s just dumbfounding to me. Back in the day, if you were on the pitch, you got credit and a guaranteed role if won (if you wanted it). Just so fucked we are the cleanup crew now.

Make it a proper poll or just don't say that shit at all bro

Damn sorry idk why I was so hostile my bad

Gimme the loot.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.
