How freelancers can get more agency work, with Clare Brundle from Heads and Tales Content Agency

If you endear yourself to a content agency that pays well, and offers you regular, interesting work, you're onto a good wicket as a freelancer. But how can you get your foot in the door in the first place? It can be a challenge for some writers, but in this episode, we ask Clare Brundle, managing director at Hardie Grant's Heads and Tales Content Agency, for her tips. She shares:

+ How agencies love freelancers with a specialist niche, and how it can set you up as the go-to person for that topic (and be lucrative)

+ Why there's less leeway with content marketing briefs than journalism briefs, and what you need to know about the strategy that's gone on behind the scenes of that brief

+ How you should never tell a content agency that you can write for digital if you don't have a website of your own

+ How to approach a content agency - do you simply send a letter of introduction, or pitch as well?

+ Why your career will die if you don't evolve, keep learning and stay curious, instead of focusing on how the industry is changing in ways you don't necessarily like

+ Her tips for immersing yourself in the world of content marketing so you're poised to approach agencies as they get new, interesting clients

And much more!
