How should white-label work be credited?

However the agency agreement states. Confirm in writing before the project rather than after.

Who handles client communication?

The agency, always, unless they explicitly invite the freelancer into the room.

Workflow

A motion design workflow built for agency conditions: multiple stakeholders, white-label delivery and overlapping campaign schedules.

Agency motion work has more approval layers than any other context, so the workflow has to be designed around approvals first.

Every deliverable passes through creative, account and client, each with a different concern.

Freelance capacity is added mid-flight, so the pipeline must be inheritable.

Multiple concurrent campaigns mean asset collisions unless naming is disciplined.

Stage-gate with written sign-off at boards, style frames and animatic.

Deliver in a folder structure the agency can forward to the client without reorganising.

Keep a single source of truth document per project with status, dependencies and specs.

In agency work, the workflow's job is to make approvals cheap and hand-offs boring.
