People have repeatedly said to me over the last few years... you need to do more networking... you need to get out there.
I have never been into blowing my own trumpet, as a creative director of a number of northwest agencies, or since i bailed out of the agency (look at all our awards) nonsence 6 years ago. I have joined a number of networking groups... including this site, and I do agree that you need to get yourself out there. But you need to watch where you put yourself. Getting out there is great, but there is a lot to learn from spreading yourself to thin - keep it focussed and stick at it - build a good network of professionals, skillsets and companies you can help - it will come back... I have just been contracted for a full corporate re-brand for a major construction company.
