Let's be honest. Life's too short to beat about the bush.

Agencies.

If we're both fair, we both win. Experience means I work fast, so given a sensible copy budget, I can usually propose or accommodate a response to suit.

For ad hoc projects, my numbers are based on £400 a day +VAT, with half/part days pro rata. We'll talk discounts for bookings of 5 or more days in a month.

For regular, major, long term, nightmare, pitch or otherwise "deserving" commissions, call, tell me more, and we'll go from there. Chocolate Hobnobs may work wonders.

Brand owners & companies.

It's all very painless, I promise. Typically fixed fee per project, including agreed revisions, based on time and involvement required.

I'll be able to give you a ballpark estimate over the phone, followed by a firm quote once I've seen or heard the brief. I guarantee you'll get outstanding value dealing direct. Let's talk.

Terms.

Only one thing to add: My terms are strictly payment within 30 days. (Or Three-Zero, for any Financial Controllers).

Like you, I'm running a business, not a bank. Sorry.
