The Creative Collective Networking

The Creative Collective: A Wild and Welcoming Networking Event for Creative Freelancers We've all been there. An hour or more of 60 second pitches. Maybe a ten minute presentation for good measure. The Creative Collective is your fortnightly dose of fast-paced fun. Guaranteed to make new creative connections in an environment that's been described as "Fun, welcoming, lovely people and to be honest just blinking hilarious!" It's a mood lifter, a business booster, and it's home. Part networking, part community, part bizarre cabaret. Sort of. 15-second intros, daft icebreakers, surprise 121s, and breakout rooms with actual personality. It's less stiff handshake and more virtual embrace with people who get what it's like to freelance as a creative. Our attendees are videographers, voice actors, illustrators, animators, composers, web designers, photographers, graphic designers, copywriters, ... and those who blur every line in between. If you create, make, or perform, digitally or in the real world, this is where you'll [cheese catchphrase] find your people.
