What is your current level of experience in freelance work?
I'm Marcelo Coelho, a lifestyle, corporate and advertising photographer with over 30 years of experience, based in Los Angeles and Brazil. I have been represented in the past by Rhoni Epstein in Los Angeles and together we worked with ad agencies such as DDB, McCann Erickson, BBDO, Leo Burnett, McCann Erickson, Grey, Dailey & Associates, Rubin Postaer, Miller Huber, among others. I’m currently building strategic partnerships with freelance art producers and art-buyers to pursue two interesting opportunities: 1. to solve an important problem for large organizations in recent years: the lack of exclusivity and authenticity in their image libraries (corporate photography); 2. to seize a significant competitive advantage of our work in the current advertising landscape. I can explain both in detail if you decide to talk. A one-page overview and samples of my work will be available upon request. Your primary role will be to conduct direct outreach and lead generation with advertising agencies, branding firms, and large organizations. You'll be using: our CRM database with several thousands qualified leads; online research and your own professional network. In addition to the hourly rate, you will earn a commission on all proposals requests and all successfully closed deals.
