Career Insights: The Modern Creative Freelancer

Update: the recording of this session is now available

COVID-19 has ravaged the employment landscape

Unsettling numbers of creatives have lost jobs and need a new income source. Those already out of work seek an alternative to a job hunt that’s only gotten worse with fewer openings. Even some employed creatives don’t want to stay full time after discovering new freedoms during WFH, away from the rat race. They all join so many other creatives already considering a new way to work.

Freelancing has become the new hotness.

Agencies are increasingly moving to an on-demand work model preferring freelancers and contractors. And savvy OG freelancers want to improve their game, especially with all the new competition for freelance gigs.

What does it take to be a successful modern freelancer?

More than you might think.

Fortunately we’ve got a panel of allies from smart, freelancer-focused platforms who will explain how to:

  • Find better work at better rates

  • Manage yourself as a real business

  • Keep more of your money

  • Find support in community

Get armed with the tools to succeed—and some much-needed peace of mind.
