🚨 Whatever it is you’ve been thinking of doing, START. Whatever you’re working on, KEEP GOING. 💪 Most people fail, because they stop. Or they don’t start at all. Give every thing you have and be proud that you’re making the world better and that you’re the kind of person that Is always creating.

🗣 Marketing is a skill that many creatives are pretty bad at. We love making things, but we’re rubbish at telling people they exist. We don’t want to beg or brag so we say “I’ll let the work speak for me”.  👣 Unfortunately, in most cases, if you build it they will NOT come. You have to tell them about it and carry them there. This is where good marketing comes in.

We’ve opened a tattoo studio, a company focused on creative out of home advertising, an interior design project and a gardening club, amongst other things! We are often emailed by artists and creatives asking advice. This is why we have decided to make the Creative Rebels podcast; to empower the next generation of creatives.
