Yes. It’s a new door 🚪 to more opportunities. I was agency for many years. Then once I freelanced for a popular tech company, I got recruited for other desirable startups and other tech companies. A network is like a family tree of doors. If you explore tech it’s like having an additional family trees of doors (ad agency + tech / startups). Just my opinion, this has been my experience.

Additional Posts in Advertising

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
