Hey! I'm just getting started as a freelancer after years in agency with in-house brands, any tips as I am struggling to expand my network?

I have experience in creative direction, art direction, styling and set design. I am also a keen illustrator and have worked on a few brand identity projects which I loved. I'm basically very varied and work across a lot of mediums either alone or with a team.

  • Hey Nat, I would really recommend joining groups like Leapers to help expand your network as well as finding companies that can help make introductions for you. Linked in is great and you can ask for introductions with your connections. Lastly memership networks like Bloom also help to make connections outside of your own circle.
    Good luck and don't hesitate to connect and chat if I can help at all.
