  • #058 | Landing Work with Creative Agencies & Bigger Brands
    Oct 15 2024

    Welcome back! In this episode, we dive into everything you need to know about landing work with creative, marketing, and production agencies. We break down the key differences between each type of agency and share the tools and strategies we've personally used to find and secure paid projects.

    Working with creative agencies comes with a slightly different workflow compared to working with clients directly, but the benefit of an agency is they usually have the big brands on their roster, and they bring you in to produce the work for their big project.

    If you're ready to take your freelance career to the next level, this episode is packed with actionable advice you won't want to miss!

    Sep 17 2024

    In this brand new episode, Matt talks on a recent client experience where Matt pitched an idea, the client went ahead and completed the shoot without him, but they used the idea Matt pitched! We're jumping into what to do in this situation, and possible ways of handling it.

    We also briefly discuss new YouTube history, Nikocado Avocado (known for his crazy mukbang videos and overweight-ness) uploaded a new video and he's suddenly skinny! Turns out he pre-filmed two years worth of video content, and has been uploading that whilst he lost weight for TWO YEARS! WILD!

    And finally we touch on our thoughts of the new iPhone 16 and the Apple Event. Matt wants the Ultra 2, but we both don't want the iPhone 16...
