10. Say NO to free pitching

It’s a big NO to Free Pitching! So our title gives us away…it’s no secret that we are against free pitching. In fact we want to shout it to the roof tops, because we think it’s a risky business and something you should avoid at all costs. Yes we all have to quote, however we don’t have to give up our intellectual property for free. It’s important that we designers, as a collective, say no for the good of our industry. Free pitching undermines and devalues both our industry and ourselves as professionals. What other industry asks you to solve a problem holistically and then allows the client to say no thanks? Today we unpack the reasons why you shouldn’t free pitch and some tips for how you handle it when and if you are asked to free pitch. Let’s do this. Press play.
