I have been freelancing for ad agencies for short term and long term assignments since 1997. I also do work from my home for small business clients. Back when I was an agency staffer, my highest title was Associate Creative Director. AGENCY WORK / PRIVATE CLIENTS
1) About 80% of my business is onsite freelance: Pitching in at ad agencies or in-house creative departments when they need extra help 2
) The other 20% of my business is work for private clients. Design services as well as basic marketing and brand consulting for businesses too small to need a full-blown ad agency. PRIMARY SKILLS ARE IN PRINT AND WEB: I can help with concept development, art direction and graphic design for print or online use. Logos, websites, print ads, brochures, direct mail, emails etc. Primary software: Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
TV/VIDEO: Though I have worked at ad agencies on some on tv concepts, storyboards, and directed some video editing, it's not something I have a ton of experience in. COPY: Over the years, I've gotten pretty good at generating what I call "starter copy" as I'm working on layouts and have been told I'm good at offering copy suggestions to things already written. SOCIAL MEDIA: I have a natural interest in this and keep up on the industry so hope to help more of my small business clients get their pages rolling. PORTFOLIO: You won't find much online. Because I do so much work for ad agencies (and the end client is typically unaware the work was outsourced to a freelancer), I only share agency projects privately. Tell me a little about your needs and I'll pull relevant samples. I do have a few small business projects posted here on Facebook and also on Behance if you'd like a look before contacting me.
