Gettin' Screwed by the Agencies

[tommylogic]

So, I'm Tommy Logic... howdy.
Here's our story in a nutshell.

After years of getting screwed in the Ad & Design industry, we "Get It" !!!
I launched a company of a tight knit group of artists, designers, and tech freaks and through our range of contacts we're being propelled by the industry's leading business managers & entrepreneurs.

Intro: Tommy Logic™

We are finally going to give them exactly what "they" want. We launched a campaign called “Muse Services”

Translation: We basically do all the work for top design professionals ..and by top professional, we mean they are better at exploiting someone else's talent than the girl down in Cubicle #4D.

When they need someone to produce a completed project or tidy up their forgotten mess... WE are their source of "sudden inspiration". We don't ask any questions, we give them non-disclosure agreements, we just do the work with no intention of gaining any credit from it.

Some call it selling out... we say it is exactly what we got into this line of work for... We are here to produce & create for the sake of creating more, not to gain some recognition from the suit in the glass cage.

What's your thought on this? Is it appealing? No hustle and flow, just pure creative talent driving someone else to their idea of success.

I'm currently working on a WordPress forum / blog so people can post their ideas and share work resources. I'd like to see file transfers possible that users can password protect and deliver finished work projects to their clients directly. Any thoughts on that? Most of us like to sit in our pajama's from our homes where we seem to get more inspiration. So any ideas on expanding the "office" would be great.

What can I do to expedite this process?
Anhyow.. this is way too long, I gotta get to work. Thanks for all your input.

I really dig your site, thanks Toon. I'll link up to ya today.

Welcome to the forum.... not sure about the idea.... but hats off to you for trying it no matter what...

[tommylogic]

you'd be amazed at how many people seem to be in the wrong profession. A lot of my so called "design" clients spend more time selling their work than actually producing. They run around like Busy Backson from the Tao of Poo.

hehe... can imagine

hmm... interesting phenom goin on here in the US... I live near a big city, which I won't mention at the moment.

At any rate.. it seems that my title to this post ended up in a couple different hands. I think thats good, jobs are ringing in.. BUT... I am getting quite a few emails from designers in that particular city..

The majority of them want to leave their job to work with me.. interesting. I wish I had the work for them all..

Wonder which way I should stear this boat?
