"a lot of upcoming MUA's, clothing brands and event organisers have ruined the industry with approaching creatives to work for nothing and it has devalued the industry. since 2018 mainly in the asian fashion and wedding market this has become the norm and its not fair that our hard work spent on location and behind a screen, editing for hours has had a major impact on the atitude of individuals within the industry and it needs to stop. There is no creative (unless your trying to build a portfs"

A Designer At Heart
"I have been a freelancer for 5 years and always refused unpaid work. I had to make big life choices to do that, for example moving to China (from Italy) after graduating because it was the only place where I could find a paid internship. I truly believe unpaid work shouldn't be allowed so I'm happy to sign."
Ian Blaza
"I get sick of seeing freelancer websites that let people place job postings for freelancers that end up being lower than the minimum wage, or want a service for free. This has to stop. It devalues the creativity of the talented designers out there and also gives a false representation of how much design is worth."
Robin Walker
"It is unfair that companies take advantage of people, and exploit their eagerness to get ahead by suggesting freelancers do work for free."
Steph Whitr
"Requests by companies expecting to give photography services for free simply for exposure. Or expecting to give images to companies without them paying me a fee or even a hint at a website/social media credit - giving them free promotion of their business with zero compensation for mine."

Above all we believe in equality, respect and support for freelancers."

We don't get work fast for free, we work hard because we have the skills to deliver quickly."

Justin Buehler
"I've been burned too many times submitting proposals and not getting paid for my ideas contained in the proposals."
Kieran jay johnson director @IAM CASTINGS
"As I believe in paying people for their time, skill and support. I have worked for free myself over my journey becoming a casting director. During this time I was told this was essential if I wanted to get ahead!! Which I now see as free labour. I also see that this culture leaves a certain demographic out and reduces opportunities, as they are not able to work for free to better themselves."
Simon Kristall
"With 20 years experience and having worked for some top blue chip brands, I’ve still been approached to cary our free work, it’s not been recently however. It’s nothing short of exploitation, and creates a false economy for the industry in question. Especially when those that ask are sometimes doing very well indeed."
Richard Myers
"We support hundreds of startups every year, including many freelancers, and far too many times we've seen them do free work on the promise of bigger work down the line. Business doesn't work that way. Do you know anyone who has taken their car to a garage to ask for a free service because they may want 4 new tyres and an exhaust in the future? Nope. #nofreework"

"We've been campaigning against exploitation in the creative sectors for decades and supporting staff and freelancers who experience this. Well done on launching this campaign; we hope it will identify a will amongst policy makers to strengthen the law and the resources available for enforcement in support of new entrants in particular."
Dominique De-Light
"I believe all freelancers should be paid to ensure everyone has access to work opportunities. For a thriving creative economy it is important for diverse groups of people to have equal access to freelance work. At Creative Future we support under represented artists and writers, the #nofreework campaign reflects our vision of a more equal society and that's why we support this campaign."
Chaire Grace
"Too many Virtual Assistants undervalue themselves by either completing free work or offering their services for an unrealistically low rate. We want to sign up the to campaign in support of change to improve standards."
