STARBUCKS (agency: Swift). 3 animated GIFs for their Frappuccino sub-brand. Was paid $3300 for the content + tumblr posts (Had maybe 10,000 followers at this point). Nice people, open to pretty much anything creatively, but looking back I wish I had asked for more $$$. They paid 50% up front and the remaining 50% within 30 days :)

Verizon

After working on a project with them, they asked me to post it to my instagram with their copy. I don’t have a huge following so I asked for $1k, they said they only had $500. Idk how this massive company could only have 500$ lying around. Didn’t respond to their email and they came back with $1k the next day. payment was 2 weeks late. Verizon is a shifty company and if I had known about the shifty way they treat their workers I wouldn’t have taken on this job. fuck verizon
