Freelance is hard also btw! But I would start with relationships. Ask yourself, in the work that you have done freelance, are there any relationships you can re-engage with, or anything you’ve done that you can keep sharing to potential clients or just on your socials? I’d also set yourself up for success by refreshing the work you’ve done and sharing it whenever you have the opportunity to plug your work.
Never be shy about the results you make and things you make happen.
As a senior producer, you’re exposed to a lot. So use that to your advantage, talk about what you want daily to clients, peers, and even people you meet for the first time because your opportunity could come from anywhere – bear that in mind.
Otherwise I’d just suggest going to events and getting used to understanding the job market right now and what people want from someone in your role and how others might be getting their work – talk to your peers.
If you can take on something small too, try and balance the pressure and stress. Doing something for purely passion can be so liberating sometimes. I find that a lot of people who are going through a negative experience try to find an outlet to help them remember why they do what they do. Don’t be hard on yourself. A breakthrough is coming.
