The EU project that funded CreativeD came to an end in December. However, project partners believed that the network had very positive outcomes. After assessing different options it was decided to continue with the network in a 12 month programme to be managed by the Plato Network:
New 12 month Business Development Programmefor Dublin’s Providers of Creative Services
This 12 month programme will focus on the needs of Providers of Creative Services in developing their businesses through a series of monthly group meetings, practical workshops, one to one mentoring and networking events specifically tailored for providers of creative services. Would you like to be part of a results driven initiative?
The group will decide upon the content of workshops but they are likely to include:
- Collaborative Projects: Working with other Creative Service Providers on mutually beneficial joint initiatives
- Funds for Creative Service Providers and how to apply for them.
- Burning issue: The opportunity to discuss with the group the challenges and opportunities that you face in your business.
- Sales: The group will be facilitated in increasing domestic and export sales through practical advice and workshops.
The new group will have less than 20 members and set its own agenda. It will be driven by two experienced facilitators at least one of whom will have a relevant creative services background. Meetings will take place in a convenient central Dublin location.
Applications are invited from Creative Service Providers who are
- at least 18 months in business
- are based in Dublin city or county
- work full time in creative services e.g. photography, digital media, marketing, graphic design etc.
- interested in working with other Creative Service Providers to develop their business.
Interested? Email networking@plato.ie now. Deadline for applications: February 10th, 2012.
