The Indierectory – GIGIL’s way of addressing the issue of unemployment among advertising professionals during the pandemic

The Indierectory – GIGIL on the issue of addressing unemployment among advertising professionals during the pandemic

The Indierectory is a free online platform for freelance advertising professionals to list their portfolio and contact information for potential clients.

Initially launched in 2019, independent ad agency GIGIL started it as a way to bridge the gap between clients and freelancers. But as the issue of the pandemic rose, The Indierectory was relaunched with a new and improved website in order to aid the industry. This free listing website is sponsored by GIGIL, and it has proven to be helpful in today’s context.

The platform has put up programs and events to help address the issue of unemployment among freelance advertising professionals the past year. The first is ‘Indie Power,’ a webinar where industry experts shared insights and tips on freelancing during the pandemic. A month after this, they also held a Networking Night, where freelancers and clients met for potential business deals.

With this, GIGIL hopes to solve the issue. Through collaboration, agencies and freelance advertising professionals can alleviate the livelihood issue in the industry.
