a year ago aquent DENIED shellie. they basically said i wasnt good enough.
i wonder if they would now.

Aquent doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground for sure!
Have you put together a self promo package shellie, ie. Samples, resume and cover letter on your own letterhead, business card?
Do that and start sending them out to agencies, it's a good start.
:P

yup i got all that. cards letter head and even an autorun cd (all flash, mac and pc compatible) with samples of my work, resume, etc.
i dont know what else i have to go to have a bone thrown my way. cept maybe just get better :x

it's tough for everyone right now, no matter how good you are or aren't. Just be persistant and something will show up.

the creative group denied me too, but that was a year ago.. but i recently sent my stuff again with no responce. bitches.
theres another angency in west LA, but i cant remember what they were called. they denied me last year too...but i dont think they would now with everything i've added to my portfolio.
anyone know what agency im talking about?

yeah, some of the portfolios on aquent sucks but not sure how they get in.
try calling Art directors and CD and find out if you can set up time to meet with them. When I was doing freelance, I wrote everything in a book to keep track of who I called and who I've sent my promos to. It's time consuming but handy.
