They have a pretty tight site I have to admit.

You should pray to baby Jesus to find you a job. He's your agent, right?

Keep marketing up and people will find you. The clients you have to convince to work with you probably aren't the right ones anyway. You'll just be back where you started, making crappy work for people who don't appreciate it.

i worked in london for 2 years all through an agency!! they fucked me a little sometimes, I did it back.. it was defintely worth the amount of work i got. And they sent me to all sorts of cool places like saatchi, ogilvy, mccann erickson, interbrand.. and to some uber-awesome smaller lesser known ones
- Yeah I think I'm gonna check out Levine & Leavitt. Who was your rep?Scotch_Roman

oh and you never have to hassle them for payment! they pay you even if you werent qualified enough for the job (cos it their responsibility to only send people qualified enough)

Had a big rep who owed me some serious money, biggest job I've ever had. The client paid on schedule, at the proper milestones, but my rep held the money. I kept on them, looking for my payment, called and called. They stopped taking my calls, the project was finished. A couple weeks later I get a call from a new person at my agency. They fired their accountant because he had spent all of my money furnishing their new office with new computers, desks, etc, - and now didn't have the money to pay me. They finally paid me in big installments for three months. As soon as the last check cleared, I dumped them.

Zounds. So the moral of this story is, be careful which agents you work with. Seems like you're either golden or buggered.
