Hi Adam,

LinkedIn and Google are both your friends here!

Some companies that have recently reached out to me are:

  • AlphaInsights
  • A/B Consulting
  • SGS Maine Pointe
  • Expert360
  • Graphite
  • Holker Watkin

I can't really speak to them, but this could get you started! (Really there are a million out there. Just dig around)

Hello!

Usually, when people start as freelances, they leverage their older clients (e.g., they become freelance to cover a specific need, they don't start from nothing and try to get clients). 

Cheers, 

Clara

Thanks for the answer

I am more thinking of matchmakers such as The Barton Partnership or Comatch. Those have contacts with consultancies / corporates and place you at those when a need arises

It would be useful to get the names of main agencies in both geographies

Makeen Advisors reached out a while back and have an MEA focus. No insights on how it is to work with them though.
