Advocate Art

Another contact report from last year, this time it is another agency called Advocate Art. I contacted a lot of agencies around this time, though I only received several replies, as I wanted to be an illustrator. Now, I don't think I do, but I still find the role of the agent within the life of an artist interesting.

LEANNE: I was hoping you could tell me what your role is as a design agency and what you do to assist the designer.

ADVOCATE ART: We would love to see your work, we promise we will respect your copyright and to get right back to you with our decision but we do not offer a critic. (who are we to do that?!)

We supply upper mid-market typically, but can go mass or top end if pushed. All industries, all styles, all countries. You simply need to have something our clients are looking for and you need to be professional, reliable, fast, commercial OR have a library of work ready to go.

We take 30-35% for commissioned work and there are no costs to you. Also we try and get more jobs than you would direct.

You can keep your own clients and work with us as little or as much as you like. We have 200 artists on our lists so we seem huge but some of our group are specialists e.g. only provide us with really good flower art or calligraphy for greetings or are very good abstract artists. Others though are versatile and have a multitude of styles; some work with use on and off for years and look upon us as a client rather than an agent; some rely on use to send their children through school and pay the mortgage.

Please refer to the about us section for an overview of our ethos and what differentiates Advocate from other agencies.

Please submit your work in jpg format for consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
