1. Create an Impressive Portfolio.
it’s vital for an animator to keep their portfolio and reel up to date.
Place new work on your site regularly, and be professional about it. Of course, new clients will be looking for high-quality animation and illustration work, but typos in a Contact section are a major turnoff to potential customers who value professionalism just as much as aesthetics.
. Make Cold Calls.
After you’ve delivered an animation that a customer is pleased with, don’t be shy to let them know that you’d appreciate them recommending you to some of their colleagues or friends. This allows you to gather names of people to get in contact with and a definitive starting point. But if referrals aren’t forthcoming, it’s still best practice to call prospective customers and let them know what companies you’ve worked with in the past. This will boost your reputation and increase the likelihood of getting a return call.
3. Network.
You can also network online using animation forums and LinkedIn as a starting ground to find new clients
Attend networking events, talks, and conferences.
4. Stay Up to Date With Social Media. It’s important to use social media—such as Facebook, Twitter, and image-heavy platforms like Pinterest and Instagram—to brand yourself any chance you get. feel free to use these platforms to let some of your own personality show—not just your company.
