Do you use agencies to supplement your freelance work?

Hi


On Twitter this past week, I was reminded of how powerful agencies can be for freelancers.

I’ll be real with you, the sporadic work and lack of client control can be frustrating. Sometimes though, agencies will come through with work when you really need it, and some freelancers actually love using them. You won’t know how they work out for you until you try them out.

Remember, freelancers of a wide range of skillsets can benefit from agency connections, including…

  • Writers (of all kinds)
  • Designers
  • Product photographers
  • Web developers
  • Video/audio folk
  • Animators
  • PR and marketing pros


If you’re looking to get more agency work, check out this post from Millo. It has some VERY helpful advice on pitching to agencies.

To get started on a pitching habit that will build great agency relationships,  incorporate it into your marketing day once a month or so. Use lists like this or this, but also don’t forget to look locally. Talk to you soon!
