DEAR READERS,
While the restrictions for the economy and society are slowly being eased after the various ´Corona Lockdowns´ around the globe, the current situation is not easy for companies and freelancers in New Zealand. According to our current Lunendonk study, the lockdowns and restrictions resulted in the number of freelancer projects declining significantly.
Moreover, we have analysed Payoneer’s latest report which found that 60 per cent of freelancers experienced a decrease in demand for their services during the pandemic. However, the future for freelancing remains bright as 23 per cent reported that business has remained as usual with 17 per cent stating that demand for work has actually increased. In addition, we will provide some tips with our freelancer readers in mind during these tough times.
In the article by one of our freelancers, a marketing expert shows you how professional brand management can successfully be done online. To finish off, the freelancer joke is about a project manager who is known for his concise crisis communication.
Despite the Corona crisis, I hope you enjoy reading and, of course, as always, good business!
