This week, Rachel and Lynne chat with agency content director, Vanessa Keys. Vanessa shares her career journey from work experience in glossy magazines, to securing feature writing roles before travelling to London and working in large agencies.

We chat about:

The difference between freelancing and agency life
What it's like to come back to your home town

What agencies are looking for from freelancers
How she pitches for new business
Where she finds clients
What being 'content first' means in practice
The skills freelancers need right now
