We delivered an inspirational one-day business development workshop, plus follow-up support, for ambitious creative businesses in Gloucestershire, in partnership with The Growth Hub.
The workshop took place on Wednesday 19th September 2018, one of the first to be hosted at the stunning new Growth Hub in Gloucester.
With inspiring surroundings and creative gurus on hand, plus a group of like-minded businesses, this programme was designed to support creative businesses to develop a plan that took their ideas and business to the next stage of growth.
Worth well in excess of £1000 per business, the programme was fully funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), at no cost to those taking part.
Julie Ellison, Growth Hub Business Guide and resident creative specialist, facilitated a bustling day of practical, outcome-oriented workshops. She worked directly with each creative business to understand their challenges and help them plan their next steps, along with two industry experts:
Peter Anderson, a TEDx and international speaker, shared his expertise on inspirational leadership, specifically in the creative industry. With his distinctive dynamic style, Peter challenged fixed mindsets and took participants out of both their seats and their comfort zones. https://www.andersonsarena.com/
Rachel Savage, a highly experienced communications expert, guided participants through the process of creating a brand story that got right to the heart of their business and helped them win more of it. http://www.brandnewstoryhq.com/
In addition, Caroline Fedash, marketing expert and graphic designer in the Create Gloucestershire team, was available throughout the day to explore how the CG network could support businesses moving forwards and to provide useful connections and links with other creatives in Gloucestershire.
This event and follow-up support was for creative businesses in Gloucestershire with ambition and serious plans to grow, through revenue, activity or employees.
