We have been proud sponsors of Creative Lives in Progress for two years now; to us, it’s a natural extension of our mission to make the creative industry a more accessible, inclusive, and attractive place to work.
The platform plays a vital role in helping emerging creatives find their first step, offering mentorship, career guidance, and industry connections that might otherwise be out of reach. By supporting their work, we’re investing in the next generation of talent, breaking down barriers to entry, and helping to create a more diverse and sustainable creative landscape.
Last week, Craft’s Senior Freelance Recruiter Charlotte took part in the CLIP Portfolio Review session, offering seasoned guidance and insightful advice to emerging creatives.
Why?
“The creative industry is becoming harder to enter, and even harder to thrive in. We need to actively support and empower new talent—and that’s exactly what Creative Lives in Progress is all about, helping people succeed in their creative careers.”
Charlotte was in good company too, as this series of portfolio reviews brings insight from a line-up of industry pros and pals, including BBC Creative, Elmwood, DEPT, Landor and Anomaly.
We have always, and will always, offer free portfolio reviews at events like this. It’s something we really enjoy, and can see the immediate positive impact it makes for those looking for the next step in their career.
