10+ experienced creators learning and working collaboratively over 12 weeks =

Unimaginable growth of your artistic practice and impact.

Collaboration Is Incredibly Important For You.

And it’s for us too.

At the We Create Together Programme, you will actively collaborate and get support from peers on a regular basis. For 12 weeks, all participants are committed to dedicating 1h per week to focus on the work of their peers and share ideas, insights, recommendations and helpful contacts.

Doing the maths, you will have +10 artists who know your work deeply (and vice-versa) and 10+ hours working with other experienced social artists on your project or practice.

And here is where the magic happens.

Hmm… and why Digital Marketing?

Great question! Through Digital Marketing, artists can:

Build online audiences and communities and have their work inspired and supported by them.

Strengthen their relationships with social organisations while promoting their work and impact.

These opportunities are too good to miss, and we believe Digital Marketing is key to building a strong and sustainable artistic practice today.

At We Create Together, you’ll learn how to build your digital marketing strategy, create an authentic online presence with ease and serve a community that loves supporting your work.

Hi! I’m Raquel.

I’m a marketing mentor working with artists and social entrepreneurs to help them expand their creative practice and social impact through digital marketing. I'm committed to helping socially-driven artists & creatives to expand their outreach and maximise social change while building impactful and freaking awesome careers, so we can all build a more inclusive and creative world together.

Digital marketing can be a wonderfully creative medium. It allows you to share meaningful and compelling stories, build vibrant communities and expand your work’s impact and outreach. Marketing & Business skills are key to socially-driven artists of all mediums, however, sadly, they are rarely taught or discussed in formal educational settings. As a theatre-maker myself, I realised this need firsthand, and this was the starting point of my career as a marketing & business mentor.

Meet Your Mentor & Collective Facilitator

“Raquel presented me with some challenges and questions in a really wonderful way. I felt really excited by the ideas she had. I went on quite a journey in a short amount of time and was motivated to act on some of the ideas really quickly. I told several people about our session! It was so refreshing to speak with Raquel. She really 'got me' straight away and had insights that were so helpful. I would definitely recommend her to any creative looking to grow their career or project!”
