We Create Together For Social Artists
Working Collective + Digital Marketing Mentorship
Grow Your Art Practice & Impact. Together.
Well, the truth is…
You know art is a powerful tool for change and an ultra-engaging medium.
And yet… you’re struggling to grow your creative practice and make it sustainable.
At We Create Together, you get to collaborate and receive support from 10+ social artists, strengthen the digital marketing strategy for your practice, and grow your art and impact in ways you never thought possible.
Why we’re different
We’re the ONLY Working Collective + Digital Marketing Mentorship Programme exclusively dedicated to Social Artists. Our unique approach combines learning, mentorship and collaborative creation so we can support artists to grow their practice beyond what they think it’s possible and reach exponentially bigger audiences and communities. In this FIRST EDITION, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy extra FREE bonuses and directly collaborate with us to shape it.
Our Secret Ingredient: Focused & Committed Collaboration
At the We Create Together Programme, you will actively collaborate and get support from peers on a regular basis. All participants commit to dedicate 1h every week to focus on the work of their peers and share ideas, insights, recommendations and 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! In our brand new digital world, social 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.
We believe these opportunities are too good to miss.
At We Create Together, you’ll learn how to build your digital marketing strategy, create an authentic online presence with ease, serve a community that loves supporting your work and build a strong and sustainable artistic practice.
Learn how to grow your audience and expand your creative practice and social impact, with a beautiful community by your side.

Meet Your Mentor & Collective Facilitator
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.
“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!”
