Working with Vendors

Abstract

Depending on your disposition and specific industry, you may or may not make heavy use of freelancers. The use of freelancers is common at agencies of all sizes, including your size and is an important tool of effective agency management. In today’s freelance economy, most clients understand that your company will be using freelancers for certain portions of the job. Nonetheless, many clients are absolutely firm that the leadership on the job—the top account, creative, strategy, and tech people—are full time and committed to the job. The exception is for certain high-level consultants, such as senior content strategists or information architects, whom the client understands are a different beast.
