Our little company has been ripping it up this past month, even if we’re still office-less and working from our bedrooms (figuratively speaking, of course).
Two weeks ago, we completed the Ad Congress website, which earned us brownie points with the McCann-Erickson people and may eventually open some doors for us to begin interfacing with the ad world. A couple of days ago, we worked out a lengthy retainer with a UK-based marketing firm, which will be generating enough regular income to cover all of our office expenses each month, for at least the next year or so. And just this morning, we won a pitch to develop the site of a fairly large local food corporation, which I’ll refrain from naming here for professional reasons (although if I know you personally, I will definitely brag about it the next time we talk).
Meanwhile, smaller projects continue to present themselves at a fairly steady rate, and the workloads are a lot lighter than when I was doing everything myself. It’s all going so smoothly that I’m almost afraid that life is setting me up for a huge disappointment somewhere down the road. Still, appreciating the good stuff when it presents itself does wonders for my otherwise cranky, piss-poor personality.
Now if we can only get that damned office space …
