Marketing Mentoring for Creative Businesses
Helping you market your art and craftsIt’s not easy being a creative producer. You’re passionate about what you do and your energy is channelled into making, designing and exploring new techniques. That doesn’t leave much time for marketing your work!
And perhaps you just don’t know where to start – should you be exhibiting at galleries, shows, or craft fairs, or getting press coverage and optimising your website?
We have worked closely with the creative sector for many years. From fine artists, sculptors, ceramists, and photographers, through to furniture, jewellery, print and glass makers – we have helped them find new customers, and reach new markets.
Many of the projects we have worked on have been government funded, but we are happy to mentor individual artists to help them market their art more effectively.
Here are some of the organisations we have worked with:
- Design Factory
- Nottinghamshire Collection
- Prince’s Trust
- Banks Mill
- London Borough of Hounslow
Marketing mentoring helps artists and other creative businesses to focus on their marketing. An outside, independent view point helps to give a different perspective, new approaches, and a clear focus on the actions needed to improve your business.
Here is just some of the positive feedback we get :

‘Finding out about the reels, the hashtags and converting to the professional instagram account with the links was the thing which has most helped me.’
‘This session was invaluable for me.’
