I was thinking the other day as I have some projects that are completed but due to NDA’s I can’t actually talk about them or use them as say portfolio advertisement which is always the downside to working on big projects. It did get me to think how or if one can actually leverage their work on a big project that will get a lot of attention in the future or if one should just simply worry about it when the time comes.
I’ve seen some people get around this by publicly saying they are part of a project that uses a codename where if people figure it out then they can still say they never revealed it. But then again, those agreements you sign specifically say you can’t mention your involvement in it. In that regard, it’s better to just say nothing and respect the company that hired you.
The only thing I can think of is just plan your materials ahead of time so that when it is officially revealed all you have to do is release your updated information. You can also plan for some future posts as well. It will be awhile before the reveal so in general you shouldn’t focus too much on it and hope you can do even more projects to keep the momentum going.
