Online Workshop: Creative’s Guide to Pitching Your Work

No matter your work as a creative professional, someday you’ll have to present your ideas to others, with courage, and the power of persuasion. But how?

Pitching is a necessary part of creative practice, whether it’s discussing an idea for a work, talking to funding bodies about a project, or persuading a client to accept a proposal. It’s fraught with legal and marketing challenges and needs to be approached in a thoughtful and strategic way. ‘Creative’s Guide to Pitching Your Work’ is a free, relaxed online workshop that provides practical advice on how to tell your best story while protecting your ideas and shares simple tips and tricks to build lasting relationships with the people who can help bring your ideas to life.
