😓 if we don't start talking about these things publicly, nothing will ever change. Creative circle, is reaching out to creatives and offering 55 dollars an hour for a 3 day in office freelance job ACD level... That is way below the industry average... and it's also, only because they are keeping a big percentage of the day rate. We can all shut up, and keep accepting low salaries till we get paid nothing and they get to keep all of the creatives rate. Or we can start speaking up, and together change the most unfair thing about this industry. Do better. #freelancecreative #creativedirector #wfh #freelancejobs #recruiter #creativecircle

Get a load of this! Electric Cat Productions' Cat Kevern kindly joined us at Clockwork this month to discuss different agency structures. And her team have whipped up a cracking blog post about it 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKjWrDV4 She was joined by Dynam's Eleanor Neilson and Distinctly's Elizabeth Walker to discuss everything from Employee-Ownership, managing resource and capacity with a freelancer network, and the difference between the PODS and MATRIx model. Despite running the session TWICE, there were an abundance of questions for each panellist – so we think it's safe to say this was a pretty hot topic. What model does your agency use? Is it time to restructure? If you're looking to take on some more freelancers – this post is worth a read 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKjWrDV4 #AgencyStructures #AgencyOperations #Pods #EOT #DistributedTeams #AgencyModel #Freelancer #ResourcePlanning

In all of the industry chaos and uncertainty, we've lost sight of one valuable reason to bring on freelance talent: getting fresh thinking. Solving "bandwidth challenges" = transactional Getting an outside perspective = strategic Filling pressing staffing needs is sometimes necessary (and your overstretched staff will thank you). But the strongest use case for freelancing remains bringing in an expertise, approach or perspective you don't have. One that will make the work better. #freelancing #outsidetalent #bigpicture

Like a lot of folk, I saw the news that Publicis will be pulling back their spend on freelance talent and noted that the prevailing reason given was that the UK has very stringent laws which can make these engagements *slightly more complex in IR35. (*to be clear, they are not preventative, they just take some additional management) Australia and large parts of Asia (and the rest of the world for that matter) don’t have these same kinds of contentious rules, which makes me believe that freelance talent structures will prevail here. Market dynamics will shape the need for freelance talent, and exactly how and where that talent is deployed may well change. But if anything, it’s only accelerating.

I refused a full-time position… (despite being immensely grateful for the opportunity and consideration) … and I’m not alone! Studies and data show that more and more fellow Gen-Z’ers are opting for part-time or freelance positions. 👤 Here’s why I did it: 1) The flexibility to sync my schedule with the ebb and flow of the art world ensures that I can contribute my best work when it’s needed most. 🌊 2) A dynamic working model enables me to bring fresh perspectives to the table through other collaborative projects. 🍽️ 3) I have time to dive into passion projects, personal growth and other forms of exploration. 🤿 4) My commitment to the gallery goes beyond standard working hours. The two-way street of flexibility has fostered a truly effective working relationship. ⏰ The art world is dynamic and ever-evolving, so why shouldn‘t my contract be? 🧠 #freelance #fulltimeopportunity #artworld #eventmanagement #adaptiveleadership #genz
