So you think you can write, huh? Freelance copywriting is much more than writing for websites, companies, and organisations. It's about running a business whilst developing your contacts, skills, and clients. It's about coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

It's hardly news to state that being an authority in your field leads to more work, better rates and broader opportunities. Pre-social media, freelancers would earn influence through hard work, experience, reputation in their field, networking and positive PR. Today, all of that can be achieved with a smartphone and an internet connection. 

London Fashion Week manages to incorporate all creative job roles into one fast paced, exciting and artistic event. Fashion week regulars POP PR have had their designers showcase their captivating work for many seasons now, and this season brought just as much unrestricted creativity and explosive fashion as any other season. With independent designers relying on the help of their creative teams, fashion week brings together people with a range of different creative skills to produce inspiring and distinctive visual constructions

CLEAR COMMUNICATION FROM THE START TO THE END OF THE PROJECT When freelancing on a specific role, communication is key to ensuring you meet project expectations and will further improve your chances of any future work with the employer. Firstly and probably most importantly, always make sure you are responsive to any potential employer inquiries. If you happen to miss an employer’s phone call, be sure to call them back within 15 minutes and do not wait until the next day to return their call.
