Hard to get work with corporate businesses - only really get these jobs through agents - you can't really get your work infront of these type of people/businesses yourself. He has been able to get more work through Heart Agency.
How he secured a agent?
- keep website simple
- make it your own
- bring file sizes down so it appears straight away - They want to look through quickly - they won't bother if images take ages to load
- make work you feel with appeal to certain agencies you want to contact
- make sure your emails are catered to individuals
Ben also works with underground press - unpaid
- only do things for free if you feel its beneficial to your practice

portfolio:
- keep it small so they're are likely to keep it and carry it around or on their desk - They won't want to carry something heavy
- portfolio on disk or memory sticks
- postcards - something they can pin up and keep
agency with 40 people max - if they have too many clients, they won't need to find them much work for them to make money off them
Keep asking the same ones! Email them every time you update your portfolio/website.
