Final Thoughts: Halloween Is Your Runway (or Rebrand)
Let’s be real, freelancers don’t get a ton of true days off. So when that rare opportunity comes along to just go all out creatively, you have to take it.
Halloween is your one-night-only pass to play with your identity, push your personal style, and maybe even create some content that gets you noticed.
Your duo Halloween costume could be the thing someone remembers you for, or it could be what gets you featured in a viral roundup. No matter what, this is your time to have fun with it.
