As brands evolve in the use o design to drive business,
and as technology develops, there are more opportunities
or how designers can apply their skills. This has led to
a broadening in the range o roles to which we can apply
our design and communication talents.
This year 2,890 proessionals responded to the survey.
There was an average o 11.2 years o experience and over
25% indicated 16 plus years o experience. This challenges
the notion that the industry is only or the young.

Although both reelancing and sole proprietorship
ocus on the eorts o one individual, in practice
they are very dierent.
Freelance within the design industry comes in three
avours: First reelancing can supplement current
ull-time employment or the purposes o expanded
creative opportunities, or fnancial motivations.
The second represents people who are working
predominantly on short-term contracts or design
and communication companies.
Third, is what some term the accidental reelancer:
those resourceul designers who stay busy working when
ull-time opportunities elude them. These reelancers are
oten taking a mix o work directly or clients, as well as
or employment agencies.

In contrast to reelancers, sole proprietors intentionally are
operating a government registered business and typically
have a multiple year strategy or their own brand and
marketing eorts. The earning potential o both reelancers
and sole proprietorships, at frst glance, seems attractive
with the average hourly rate or designers, with less than
fve years experience, at $46 per hour. However, these
same individuals report that their total annual earnings
are averaging less than $50,000 per year. This is likely due
to the number o hours required that are simply not billable.
For instance estimating projects, writing proposals and
project management require hours o work that are not
compensated by clients.

FirMsApproximately 300 frm owners and sole proprietors
took part in the Creative Earners survey and provided
inormation about their billings, client allocations,
marketing techniques and an economic orecast or
the coming year.
When asked or fnancial projections, most frm owners
orecast similar or slightly higher annual billings in 2012.
Client allocations are largely local and so are not impacted
by international or even national market uctuations.
For both frm owners and sole proprietors most newbusiness comes rom reerrals and networking although
not surprisingly frm owners ocus more on public
speaking, public relations and media exposure.
