To Freelance, or Not to Freelance?
07/23/20 • 25 min
You've got a whopper of a project you need to deliver in a hurry. It needs words. Lots and lots of well-written words.
Should you call every freelance copywriter in town and beg for a slot in their schedule? Perhaps hit up a content agency instead? Or maybe you could bring the whole project in-house – and finally build that content team you've been talking about?
In this episode, Alan, Siân, Chris and Helen find a way through the complexities – and figure out when freelancers are the best option.
Share your agonies (and anything else)

Boost the Value of Your Value Proposition
Messaging gets muddled when the value proposition is left to chance.
But what is it? What's it designed to do? And where's the, ahem, value, in creating one in the first place?
In this episode, Alan, Siân and Helen chew the value proposition fat – dispelling some myths (the value prop isn't a mission or vision statement), and explaining how to smuggle one past a reluctant boss.
