I am the business.
I use my time to make money.

The Self-Employed…Awareness
50M Americans are self-employed…and yet many have
no idea they’re part of a movement that’s shaping the
economy and society.
Talking to people about self-employed issues is about as exciting as discussing two vs three-ply. It’s not going to resonate.
Two Key Insights Drove Our Strategy
1. People don’t see themselves as self-employed. They’re freelance writers, Lyft Drivers, real estate agents, & artists who sell on Etsy.
2. People are talking about this, but brands aren’t involved. ¾ of mentions don’t include a brand.

Give them an identity, and a reason to act. • Celebrate the hustle, and
they’ll nod knowingly. • Show them the hacks that’ll
get them ahead, and they’ll take it. • Offer them a tool to help,
and they’ll try it.
