Everyone needs tailored advice now and then, and we’re happy to offer our services exclusively for creative people who need that bit of extra help. Our creative business advisory programs can provide extra information, an understanding ear or a little push in the right direction.

You can choose from CHAT (our occasional coaching service), through to the more rigorous GROW; a regular business advice program designed to help you make the most of your creative business.

We also offer PLAN, a whole day of planning, goal setting and strategy using our advisors’ expertise to help you figure out what the hell you’re doing.

We are so glad you asked!

 

We are all creative practitioners first and foremost, and we’ve acquired business experience and education throughout our professional practice.

NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY

 

“Monica is one of the most inspirational, motivational and thorough guest lecturers I have in the Screen course of study at NIDA. She is the unique combination of hard task master, caring adviser and complete professional. Each and every student gains immeasurably from their interaction with Monica and this results in a student who is self motivated and encouraged to be bold, strategic and then audacious in pursuit of their creative life. I wish I could clone her! .”
