right I understand that, but there is no question that there are some out there who are getting repeat gigs with big names and dealing somewhat directly with them. I'm curious about how those relationships are built. Would be nice if every company had a link on their site where you could submit a bid.

(Dec 14 05, 12:10)Like someone said earlier, designers with big clients in their portfolios had most likely been commisioned to do the work by a big agency. After a few years of doing so, you start making contacts and relations with these kind of clients, and one good project leads to a happy client, happy client talks about you in his next meeting and so on.
It's really difficult that sony will hire you, if you have'nt done work on any big project in the past. There is no easy solution to this, it takes years and years for most of us, designers with high project exposure, and most important contacts, will take the job before you do.
not trying to be negative, it can't hurt to try, but if you are thinking that you can call Robert Sony on his cell phone and request to design the next campaing for the new MD, chances are that he is going to hang up, even if your idea is great.
