SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The Ripple Effect of Rest
DESCRIPTION:In a world where being busy is worn as a badge of honour\, where needing extra hours in the day and being powered by caffeine is part of the ‘norm’\, choosing rest is a radical act. Rest is a vital practice—for our wellbeing\, creativity\, and performance—but many of us find it challenging to escape the shackles of urgency culture and allow ourselves to slow down and simply be. \n\n\n\nTo play the devil’s advocate here\, how productive are you when you’re exhausted\, overextended\, and uninspired? As a freelancer or small business owner\, you are uniquely placed to rewrite the harmful paradigms that keep us exhausted and uninspired and craft a new way of working that is holistic\, sustainable\, and centres your health and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nIn this conversation-style webinar\, Lillie Brown will be joined by facilitator and somatics practitioner Emmie Rae to unpack the habits and beliefs that influence our complicated relationship with rest before exploring the generative nature of rest and how we can build it into our lives and businesses. \n\n\n\nAnd one final thing: rest is not something you need to earn. It’s your birthright. \n\n\n\nPart of our Evening Education series! \n\n\n\nWhat’s Included?A 60 min panel webinar with our creative industries experts\, plus lifetime access to additional resources and/or a special Dropbox folder containing more resources to support your learning. \n\n\n\nWho should sign up?Creative industries professionals and business people from start-up to established (Australia only\, sorry!).

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The Psychology of Social Proof
DESCRIPTION:Humans are inherently social creatures—our desire for connection\, community\, and belonging are hardwired into us on a physiological level. Through a marketing lens\, it’s important to understand that this psychological phenomenon influences our purchasing decisions. If we’re weighing up whether to buy a product or service\, we naturally want to hear about other people’s experiences—did it meet and exceed their needs? Was it worth the investment? Do they recommend it? \n\n\n\nWe could harp on all day long about how wonderful our offering is\, but this only gets us so far. Enter: social proof. In a marketing context\, social proof is evidence that other people have purchased and found value in a product or service offered by a business. And it can take many forms—case studies\, testimonials\, user generated content\, PR and so much more. It’s a powerful (and underrated!) tactic to boost your brand reputation\, legitimise your offerings\, and demonstrate the value you provide. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Lillie Brown will sit down with Mia Fileman to explore how small businesses and freelancers can harness the power of social proof to supercharge their credibility and stand out in a sea of competition. \n\n\n\nPart of our Lunchtime Learning series! \n\n\n\nWhat’s Included?A 60 min panel webinar with our creative industries experts\, plus lifetime access to additional resources and/or a special Dropbox folder containing more resources to support your learning. \n\n\n\nWho should sign up?Creative industries professionals and business people from start-up to established (Australia only\, sorry!). We also welcome creative freelancers\, soloists\, students\, start-ups and curious hobbyists. \n\n\n\nWho’s the host?Lillie Brown is a freelance marketing strategist and Marketing Manager of Creative Plus Business.

She walks clients through a comprehensive planning process to create simple to understand and actionable strategies to help them fulfil their vision – including Creative Plus Business! \n\n\n\nMia Fileman is a professional marketer with 21 years of experience as a Brand Manager\, Agency Director and Creative Strategist. She’s the Founder of Campaign Del Mar\, a marketing education platform for entrepreneurs and emerging marketers. Mia is the host of the Got Marketing? Podcast and a widely published marketing expert.
