Ed Goodman on Working with Freelancers

Through the Line with Andy Bargery

It's very likely at some point in your marketing career you will come across a freelancer. Maybe you've hired one to work on a graphic design or copywriting project. Maybe your agency has a pool of freelancers you use regularly, or maybe you are a freelancer. There is an army of freelancers working in the marketing/comms/advertising worlds, but how do you get the best from this talent pool? In this episode, I talk with Ed Goodman, who is the founder of Freelance Heroes - a Facebook group and event for UK based freelancers. We talk about how freelancers and their clients should best work together to deliver successful engagements, including those common pet hates among freelancers. You know, not being paid on time (or at all), being micromanaged and not having their skill sets respected. Listen in if you want to know how to get the most from a freelancer client relationship.
