Congratulations to Ann-Kirsten who retires this month after 15 years at Bikinilists... Her hard work and attention to detail has been integral to the success of the company.

As we grew and expanded from our humble beginnings in 2004 when photo projects were shot on film and archives were still housed in wooden boxes.

There are many photographers, illustrators, agents and stock libraries who will be grateful for all the help and encouragement she has given them with marketing promotions over the years.

She's outlasted four UK Prime Ministers, three US Presidents and seen the launch of MySpace, Facebook, Skype, Instagram, Slack, Whatsapp, Tik Tok and more. We wish her every success for the future.

Bon Voyage Ann-Kirsten.
From all at BikiniLists

The data from the AA/WARC Expenditure Report shows the overall decline expected in 2020 may be less than feared, but the recovery in 2021 will be stronger than we would have dared hope.

With the vaccine rollout accelerating and a Brexit trade deal in place, the 2021 business outlook is brightening...

Stephen Woodford, Chief Executive, Advertising Association

A lot has changed for us all over the past 10 months.

If you've taken your foot off the gas connecting with the right creative contacts during this time, fear not... we can help with that.

Here's what our subscribers have been up to over the past few months:

• Over 1500 email promotions were sent to over 50,000 creative contacts
• 25,465 directory search matches were made
• 90% of creative search results included linkedin profiles

It's 2021, and it's time to re-energize your agency business. Get new contacts. Get new clients. Get more work.

Over the past 3 months we've been keeping up to date and ready to get back to business.

Our crack team of research wizards has checked over 60,000 creative contacts and updated 9,415 people at 3,671 agencies and brands and we're adding new contacts daily.

We've changed:

• 575 contacts in 1,068 Companies in the UK
• 4748 contacts in 1,735 Companies in the US
• 2092 contacts in 868 Companies across Europe and Asia

So what does that mean? It means our lists are fresh, up-to-date and ready for you to start connecting with new clients!

It's tough out there in 2020. As a small creative business ourselves, we totally get what our Photographers, Illustrators, Reps and Production Companies are going through.

What our subscribers need more than ever is for us to be right on top of things ready for the recovery... We're on it.

Our research team hasn't missed a beat. We've been set up for remote working for the last six weeks, checking and updating changes as soon as we find them.

Earlier this month, we made free lists and other items available to freelancers working in isolation and we've started a "Working From Home Survey" to gather experiences, ideas and tips to share next month.

We expect the number of changes/updates to increase in the coming weeks and we're putting plans in place to make sure we keep up with those as much as we can.

This is uncharted territory for us all and it would be great to hear your insights. Get in touch - we're ready to help.

Did you know... that HM Government was the UK's biggest advertiser in 2020, with an estimated spend of £164,000,000?

Unilever, Sky and P&G were 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively.

We have launched our 2020 Bikinilists Egghunt. In these difficult times, we wanted to give something back to our lovely subscribers.

Working and connecting with people online is now more important than ever. We also understand that theres a lot of uncertainty for our Photography and Illustration freelancers. Which is why we are giving away free gifts to our subscribers everyday right up until Easter Monday. This could be anything from a marketing plan, lists of contacts, discounts or even a free email campaign.

Check back daily for free goodies. Go on you deserve it!

We spoke to illustrator Paul Collicutt about concerns for creatives during this time and what Bikinilists can do to help.

Bikinilists: How concerned are you about the possibility of an extended period working in isolation?

Paul: Working from home is not a problem in itself as I work part time from home anyway and am well set up. The problem I think will be working from home with the rest of the family in isolation too. We have 2 kids and they do need attention. I think we'll all have to be disciplined.

We know it's tough out there... have you noticed a tightening of the purse strings or uncertainty from any regular or potential clients?

Yes. I have lost clients in Hong Kong and in the UK people are just a lot more uncertain. I know of at least one magazine that has just pulled all its budgets back for the next 3 months and no illustrations are being commissioned at all for 3 months.

What are your plans for networking and promoting in the coming weeks?

Not really a plan as such but rather a determination to carry on. There must be areas that are doing well.

Do you feel that you have all the tools you need to stay productive and keep business moving during this period?

I have all the tools to stay productive but I'm worried about getting business in. Right now I have no jobs lined up at all and to be honest I am really struggling with making contacts that result in jobs.

How do you think we at BikiniLists could help freelancers like yourself to power through this tricky situation?

Maybe any insights you have could be shared... suggestions about campaigns would work well... maybe something like the advent gifts you gave out at Christmas, contacts from another sector... publishing... that would be very useful.

Watch this space.

Finding new creative clients is the key to the recovery of your business in 2020, so now's the time to start reaching out and building relationships with new people at agencies and brands.
