Freelance responsibilities include coming in and managing pitches, or taking on multi-media brand ads for global companies. Generally, I would be briefed to solve marketing problems with an advertising solution. My placements range from a few days to months at a time. The longest was for Mojo Melbourne for 8 months and Leo Burnett Melbourne for 7 months.The range of hands-on tasks varied. Always beginning with conceptual thinking through to client presentation. Then overseeing the delivery to photographers, directors, illustrators or animators and (depending on budget) I may shoot also. I always preferred to see the jobs through to execution if budgets allowed for it and if possible, present the concepts myself. Finally, the media I worked on changed constantly. Television, press, radio, online video, game design, banner advertising, point of sale, brochures, corporate identities, and style guides; I’ve worked on them all.
