🚀 Why Work with Direct Clients?
Direct clients often offer better rates, faster communication and greater control over project quality—no intermediaries slowing down responses or limiting your professional input.
But working directly with businesses and institutions also comes with new challenges, such as higher expectations and extra service requests like DTP, additional language combinations or consulting services.
💡 Marketing Ideas for Finding Direct Clients:
✅ Use your agency end clients as inspiration (DO NOT POACH!)
✅ Target European higher education institutions with academic programs in English
✅ Explore industry professional associations that offer membership directories and event listings
✅ … And much much more!
