Production Services: A new string to our bow

Since 1984 our main focus has always been promoting uk-based illustration, design and photography freelancers to advertising, design, publishing and marketing professionals worldwide.

However there are many associated service providers to the commercial and creative industries that the companies and individuals we are already promoting  to, and indeed the creatives already on our books, would also be interested to find out about – so it’s time to spread our wings!

Pre-production services, post-production services, suppliers and specialists: The more diverse our roster, the more valuable we are as a resource to potential clients at ad-agencies, design groups and publishers, which can only serve to create more opportunity and benefit for everyone involved.

Here’s a list of relevant areas we’re keen to build approved listings in over the next few months:

Illustration & Graphic Design, Photography & Videography, 2D, 3D, Stop-motion & Mechanical Animation, Software, Application & UI Design, Copywriters, Proof-readers & Authors, Social Marketing, Services & Design, After-Effects, Motion & Broadcast Design, Models, Actors & Voice-overs, Music Composition & SFX, Model-makers, Cardboard & Paper Design, Scenery/Set Design & Build, Photo Re-touching & Scanning, Video Editing, Finishing & Effects, Home Economists & Food Styling, Photo Retouching, Restoration & Enhancement, Prop hire & Interior Stylists, Hair, Make-up and Prosthetic Make-up stylists, Location & Studio Hire, Specialist Email and UI Designers, and anything else similar that you think we’ve missed out!
