Find out more on the podcast

In this episode of the Creativity Found podcast I delve into the origins of creativityfound.co.uk and the Collective, both born out of the Creativity Found podcast. I explain how I wanted to create a platform to help people explore their creativity and support small businesses offering creative activities or business support.

What do I actually get as a Collective member?

  • Dedicated page at creativityfound.co.uk: Featuring your choice of text and images plus links to your website, booking site and social media accounts. 
  • Listings on relevant directory pages: The Classes, Supplies and Business Help pages are linked to on every page of the website via the header menu.
  • Monthly online meetups: Join other members online to network, ask for advice, share expertise, or just hang out with some cool creative people. 
  • Speaking opportunities: Be a guest speaker at a monthly online meetup and talk about your area of expertise.
  • Podcast promotion: The Creativity Found podcast is in the top 3% of podcasts worldwide with an audience of creatively curious listeners who are directed to creativityfound.co.uk by adverts in every episode.
  • Creativity Catchups: Connect with other members in real life for trips to creative events or exhibitions.  
  • Go live: Book a Live interview with me, shared to the Creativity Found Facebook group YouTube channel and re-purposed for shorts and reels.
  • Facebook promotion: Collective members can post directly into the Creativity Found Facebook group, where I will also continue to promote you and your offerings.
