Freelance [ The Work Space ]

Representing the freshest talent in make-up artistry, hair styling, photography and beauty in the US and the UK, Freelance the Work Space desired an identity that was as strong and cutting edge as they are. Selina and Eugen Davies, the Co-Founders were clear that clean lines and minimalist chic would be the style that spoke about them best. Lightfoot and Freelance developed a classic, yet cutting edge identity and a website that showcases the talented industry professionals the agency has on its books.

As exciting new opportunities were opening up every day Selina and Eugene wanted to be able to keep people notified and drive web traffic to their site using social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Digg. We helped to form a strategy to utilise these web 2.0 sites to the fullest.
