Getting a Good Start in Your Creative Career

This presentation will be made at New York City's School of Visual Arts, from 6:00-8:45p.

Here are the topics we'll cover:

Roles within services firms—what types of positions firms have, what characteristics of people make them a good fit for those roles.

What makes a successful agency/client relationship, what kinds of challenges firms face in managing clients.

Business development, pitching, RFPs, and other biz dev activities outside of proposals (the final project for the course is a proposal and a pitch).

Scoping, setting rates, measuring profitability—and many things about the finance side of the work.
