Recently left my agency because our account director was HORRIBLE and the Creative Director all she did was cuss out everyone internally (HORRIBLE culture). Anyways, I love that the client is still reaching out to me. But they just told me they are firing the agency because the account team has been dropping the ball... what should I do?

Definitely keep the relationship alive with the client! Once they land somewhere new it would be great for them to advocate for you to have a role there. Or for you to join the client team when there’s an opening. You don’t owe anything to your old agency - so you don’t need to give them a heads-up.

Are you at a new agency that you could potentially bring the client into? Or is there a role for you client-side? Otherwise, it sucks but the agency made their bed and they have to lie in it 😬🤷🏼‍♀️

People who switched to freelance, are you happier with the quality of projects you get to work on? How did you transition and would you recommend it to others? Any advice would help.

Thx!

I'm trying to understand if I was just spoiled with our past director, or if our new director is lazy... or if it's a mixture of both.
