Mostly Middle Tennessee Business Podcast Features Roster Agency CEO on the Freelance Economy
NASHVILLE, TN - February 15, 2024
Steve Lomas, Founder and CEO of The Roster Agency, appeared as a featured guest on Mostly Middle Tennessee Business, Episode 189, sharing strategies for professionals looking to maximize their freelance careers. The episode, titled "Maximizing Your Freelancing Career," explored how creative professionals can build sustainable independent careers while delivering exceptional value to clients and organizations.
The conversation offered an inside look at the rapidly evolving freelance economy from the perspective of someone who has built a business connecting top-tier freelancers with leading brands. Lomas drew on his 40 years of experience in the creative industry to outline how professionals at every career stage can position themselves for success in a market increasingly shaped by fractional and contract talent.
"The freelancing landscape has shifted dramatically, and the professionals who thrive are the ones who treat their careers like a business," said Lomas. "It’s not just about the work you do. It’s about how you show up, how you communicate your value, and how you build relationships that keep clients coming back. Our approach provides a foundation that allows these relationships to flourish."
The Roster Agency, which maintains a bench of more than 1,000 vetted creative professionals, works with marketing leaders and companies across the country to staff design, copywriting, strategy, and development projects with experienced independent talent. Lomas brought that operational perspective to the episode, connecting the freelancer's experience to what clients and agencies look for when building agile creative teams.
