This workshop is for freelancers working in creative or digital, looking to build long term working relationships with agencies.

In this workshop you will learn what agencies are looking for in a freelancer, how to reach out and present yourself, and what freelancers may get wrong about the freelancer - agency relationship.

This workshop will be led by Elle Bradley-Cox.

Elle is a senior editorial consultant at scarlettabbott, a York based communications agency and employee engagement consultancy. Prior to scarlettabbott, in her 12 years at the John Lewis Partnership, Elle won an award for outstanding contribution to internal journalism and pioneered a disruptive communications trial that harnessed the power of peoples’ opinions through citizen journalism. She loves creating lighter content that keeps audiences reading/watching/joyscrolling/laughing.
