Bonus: Winning Proposals and Analysis from Jim Gorman
In the process of creating her latest bundle, Designer’s Proposal Bundle #2, Ilise received three very different proposals from the same creative firm, GORMAN360. It struck her that it would be very interesting to compare and contrast the proposals in terms of their content and the specific circumstances surrounding each opportunity. Since all three examples are from the same firm, the different angles will be more obvious, and provide insight on how you can tailor your own proposals to best suit each situation you may encounter.
