ONLINE: The Creative Hustle
March 26 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
It’s not just a dance move! Understanding how to hustle is a necessity for any creative professional because it’s all about knowing how to showcase your talent and professionalism in a way that connects with potential clients, customers, employers and audiences.
While we’d like to let our work speak for itself, we also need to be able to advocate for ourselves and tell our own stories. The Creative Hustle is a practical workshop designed to focus on purposeful visibility for yourself and your output.
You’ll learn how to showcase your talent and professionalism in a way that resonates with clients, employers, and audiences alike. We’ll explore ways to prepare for the inevitable hustle, including ways of talking about ourselves without too much cringe, getting our portfolio in order, and much more.
Participants will discuss the following, with a focus on arts practice and creative industries:
+ Personal, creative ways to start the hustle and build relationships with the world.
+ Explaining yourself, and showcasing your work in the best light.
+ Understanding who you’ll be dancing with – customers, clients and audience!
+ Preparing for conferences and networking opportunities.
+ Making the most of referrals and relationships.
+ Warm Calling and Strategic Coffee Meets.
+ How to hustle up a professional lifetime in the creative industries.
More links and resources will also be shared about other elements of marketing like building a website, social media strategy, using the media and more
What do I get?
All participants of this workshop also receive:
+ A practical Workbook to assist with the interactive elements of the workshops.
+ Lifetime access to a Dropbox folder jam-packed with additional resources and helpful links.
+ Access to additional FREE webinars to supplement the material covered in the workshop.
+ The possibility of further one-to-one business advice, mentoring and support from one of our creative industries business specialist advisors. We have a whole team ready to help!
