Why I do so much work for advertising agencies and communications beuros

Advertising work, yes please

I get lots of requests from Advertising agencies and communcations beuros to perform coding work for them.  This for me is great work as I get chance to show off my skills, but also for the agency it is great as…

  • I have no ambition to become an art director
  • They usually cannot afford to employ a web coder full time
  • They get to pull on my RGB (screen) skills as they are use to a CMYK (print) world
  • The only staff that they can get to work in house on web things tend to have a maximum of 2 years web experience in very small situations. Not 15 years working for some of the largest corporations in the world.
  • I work to my own agenda, which can mean turning round 40hours of work in a 3 days or working at weekends.

And it does not stop with just the web coding, I can also advise or install any kind of supporting hardware or software infrastructure.

In short, it works out great for all.
