5 Creative Opportunities you need to know about this week 🌟
+ Your favourite industry insights of what's in and what's out in the creative industry!
Hey, Creative!
There is one question I always get asked from the creatives that I mentor.
The answer could change everything for you. (But only if you act on it.)
When I graduated, I had almost zero industry contacts.
No one in my family had ever run a large company or worked for a big-name brand.
I was starting from ground zero.
Fast forward 3 years, and my business has been backed by Virgin Money, Big Change, Nuffield Health, Pizza Hut, and others.
Just this year alone, I’ve mentored over 15 creatives, and every single one of them asked me the same thing:
“How do you find opportunities?”
The answer?
You don’t wait for them. You go out and create them.
Sounds simple, right?
It’s easy to believe success is about luck or that opportunities just fall into people’s laps.
But when you start seeking them, initiating conversations, and building connections with those doing interesting work,
You’ll notice the opportunities start finding you.
+ I’ve included 5 of the best creative opportunities out there right now at the end of this newsletter so make sure to check them out!

What’s In: Household brand Jaffa has unveiled a bold new identity,
Household brand Jaffa has unveiled a bold new identity, designed by Earthling Studio, as it embarks on a fresh chapter of growth and focuses on strengthening its digital presence.
Jaffa has been a staple in the citrus world for decades, but recently, they’ve expanded their offerings to include grapes, melons, and pineapples. The challenge? How to elevate the brand’s reputation for quality and natural goodness while honouring its rich heritage.
Initially, Jaffa sought a “close evolution” of their existing brand. But, as Earthling Studio’s creative partner Stephen McDavid explains, deeper conversations revealed a desire for something bigger—something bold and transformational. With the studio’s recommendation for a revolution rather than a simple evolution, Jaffa embraced this vision wholeheartedly, setting the stage for their next era.
We love this contemporary, playful rebrand and how it has been translated across multiple applications. Read more here
What’s out: The outdated restriction around content creators & creative
Creatives and Creators contribute massive amounts of money to the economy every year, with the creative industries contributing £126B every year. Yet, being a creator isn’t easy.
Creators often have to jump through more hoops when applying for things like mortgages, loans and insurance. This limits their contributions to the economy that could benefit the whole UK.
Many people are campaigning for the new government to make changes to this to help creators thrive and have a positive impact. Read more here
I’d love it if you could share this newsletter with your creative friends so they can get the inside scoop on the creative industries.
