Vital information for freelancers


Rates and insurance for freelance professionals


As freelancers, contractors and self-employed professionals, the issue of rates has always been contentious.

Take a look at the recent findings of the Salary & Benefits Survey from The SG Group and mad.co.uk, which is directly relevant to freelancers working in the creative/marketing arena  - and jolly interesting for the rest of us!

For the first time (and perhaps long overdue?) the Group has commissioned a separate survey dedicated solely to the freelance sector.

So, how is the climate in the marketing world? Who's earning what and where? Are people leaving companies in their droves or happy to stay put?

Click on the attached pdf to see the latest results... we're sure you'll find it interesting!

Also attached is a guide to the copyright issues associated with creative freelancing compiled by Dennis Foy.

And finally, following a launch aboard HMS Belfast in September 2008, I'm delighted to give you access to both the full report and the Executive Summary relating to research undertaken to establish the scope of the freelance sector in the UK. Simply click on the fourth pdf below to download a copy of either the summary or the full report, and feel free to share with friends and colleagues who may be interested in the findings.
