Hi Everyone, we are looking for an experienced digital marketing account manager to join our team. Our mission is twofold and ordered: 1) to create a community of leaders & creators, to empower our team to achieve their dreams and to best help others; 2) to honestly partner with our clients, and with their best interests, build scalable solutions that provide profitable growth.

Hi so I need help. I currently work to bring clients into the company i work at for web design, social media management, and brand strategy. I also do this as feeelance on the side, so where do I draw the line between who I refer to the company I work for or who I personally do freelance for? I don’t want to short out the company I work for but also love freelance and am more than capable of the work.
