What Creative Buyers Are Looking For —
and How to Sell It!
What a month for the Freelance Forum: a new location, a must-hear program and the return of our wildly successful Cinco de Mayo-themed event!
Thursday, May 1
Special hours: 6:00 to 9:00 pm
New Location!
Total Wine & More
Perimeter Square Center
124 Perimeter Center West
Join your colleagues for a panel discussion featuring three pros who know the ins-and-outs of what creative buyers are looking for – and how to sell it! Following their opening remarks on the state of the industry, we’ll turn to a moderated Q&A to get their best ideas and suggestions on what, when and how to present yourself to get the results you want. Our panelists include:
Nancy Bailey
A long-time friend and supporter of the Freelance Forum, Nancy is founder and president of Hire Profile, a firm that sources and places creative talent, short to long-term, throughout the Southeast. Nancy’s background includes positions at top ad agencies and a previous placement firm before striking out on her own in 2002.
Carmen Garcia
The Creative Director of Realm Advertising, a noted B2B agency, Carmen focuses on branding and identity development, corporate communications, editorial design and packaging design. She is also an instructor at Atlanta’s Portfolio Center and is active with a number of industry organizations in the area.
Debra Puryear
The founder-owner of Ad Temps, Debra is an industry veteran, having sourced and placed professionals in advertising, marketing, public relations and now interactive/digital for nearly three decades. In addition, she provides on-site talent management and human resource consulting. After hours, you’ll find Debra performing original material at local comedy clubs.
