I work full time for a company that specializes in marketing for the childcare industry. Needless to say I rarely get projects to sink my creative teeth into, so I try and do as much freelance stuff in my spare time as possible.

Let me just say, you don't want to do it. We had one senior AD working for us last year doing all kinds of freelance stuff on the side. We noticed weird proofs started showing up in the company email, from clients we had never heard of.
We had him pay back 50% of his salary over the past 6 months. Boom. Now he's in telemarketing calling widows and unemployed kuntbags about shaving cream and magazine subscriptions.
Your choice, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Bit of a long story. But basically I tried to set up my own company with a couple of the talented guys from Purple. 1 account dude, a programmer, and me. I got stabbed in the back and they grassed me up. Hence, out on my ear. I freelanced for 2 months but the rain and lack of anyone to talk to at home got me down and meant I've ended up here.
They are a publishing company based in Wallingford that now want a piece of the web dollar. So I'm here to get that rolling.
