    We would love you to achieve similar (or even better) results as the students in this video. Please note these testimonials are personal experiences and are for illustrative purposes for the type of results you could achieve. 

    “Client Quest has seriously helped me level up my process to gain new clients. The course has helped me to fully appreciate the various methods we can put into practice to reach out to new and existing clients. I’ve also formalised my time keeping and made the most of testimonials so they work hard for you. I’ve gained clients and had referrals that wouldn’t have been the case before I joined this course.”
    - Marc Lawrence

    “I got a client who is making a documentary series via Instagram thanks to the advice in this course. Thanks for encouraging me”
    - Alixe Lobato

    “Before this course, I found it very difficult to find any common ground with the clients I wanted to reach out to and was trying everything for client outreach, without a proper system. I signed my very first contract with a big studio halfway through this course! Also, my list of connections is growing day by day. I recommend the Client Quest for any beginner as well as any seasoned pro in the motion design field as there is an ‘aha’ moment in this for everyone. This course is proving to be one of the best investments I have ever made.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When does the course start?

    Client Quest is a self paced course but we do live Q&A's every week. 

    How long do I get access to the course?

    This is a self-paced course but we do it in 9-week sessions so we recommend you follow along with our session and access our office hours for Q&A over the 9 weeks. We work through a module a week on the live Q&A. You will have access to the Alumni Slack during this time. We do have the right to withdraw access to our Slack Channel any time after the 9 weeks. But we do usually give you continued access but we can't say forever. That's a very long time.

    Are there payment plans?

    Yes! You can join us for £165 and then pay another £165 after 30 days and 60 days. If you pay in full it's £447.
    What makes Client Quest different from other resources?
    Client Quest is the only online freelancing course that combines video lessons, client management tools, downloadable PDFs, and access to the Motion Hatch community. We cover much more than just reaching out to clients via email. We explore techniques that will also bring your clients to you. You'll connect with other Motion Designers and get your questions answered by Hayley via live video Q&A. It's the perfect way to kickstart your freelance career.
    Does Client Quest Work for All Countries?
    Yes! The techniques outlined in Client Quest are designed for you to handle local and worldwide clients no matter where you live.
    Is now a good time to go freelance?
    The techniques outlined in the course can be used for both part-time and full-time freelancers. So whether you are looking to quit your day job or simply want to grow a side business, the techniques outlined in Client Quest will help you achieve your Motion Design goals.
    Should I reach out to clients during a pandemic?
    Definitely! This season has proven that remote freelancers can offer HUGE advantages over in-person employees. This is a great season to create new contacts and grow your freelance business from home.
    Will Client Quest work for me?
    If you are a freelance motion designer or want to jump into freelance and you want more consistent and better clients then it will work for you. The lessons in this course are based on Hayley's own experience as a freelance motion designer but it's also based on helping hundreds of motion designers find success in our Mograph Mastermind Program and from interviewing guest experts on our podcast.

    How much time do I need to dedicate to this course?

    The videos are short. We respect your time and only give you the content you need. There are assignments but you can easily fit them into your workday. We think 2-3 hours a week would be enough.

    Who is this course for?

    This course is for people who want to go freelance as a motion designer or who are already freelance and want a step by step guide to build a system for getting consistent clients. We cover how to reach out to direct clients as well as agencies.

    Can't I just enroll in this next time?

    You can enroll at a later date. Sometimes the price goes up because we add more content to the course. If you enroll now you can get any future content we add without paying more.

    How do I join Client Quest?
