Thursday 5 October 15:00 - 17:00, Tiny Rebel (Cardiff)
Creative Cardiff is hosting a monthly gathering for artists, businesses and creative freelancers, called 'Creative Cuppa'. These informal events will bring Cardiff's creative community together for the all-important three Cs - connection, creativity and caffeine.
Join us for a chance to meet, connect and learn from other creatives, whether you're just starting out or have been working in the industry for decades. Each Creative Cuppa starts with a TED-style talk on a theme that is relevant across all creative sectors, followed by an informal hour to sit down, chat and eat cake! These are relaxed gatherings to meet other creatives and share opportunities.
Who's afraid of pitching?
For this month's Creative Cuppa, Richard Holman will be leading a session on 'Who's afraid of pitching?'.
Richard is a creativity expert. He began his career with the BBC before going on to found one of the UK’s most respected boutique advertising and design agencies (where he made a lot of pitches).
Today he works as an author, speaker & coach. He believes that the world needs creativity and innovation now more than ever, which is why he loves to work with individuals and teams to grow their confidence and make better and braver ideas.
Richard has run creative thinking masterclasses in Europe, the US and Asia for brands like the BBC, IMAX, Nat Geo, the Premier League and Paramount. His podcast The Wind Thieved Hat explores the highs and lows of life as a maker. He writes regularly on the subject of creativity, contributing to publications like Creative Review, and his first book, Creative Demons and How to Slay to Them, was published by Thames & Hudson in Spring 2022.
When he’s not musing on where great ideas come from, you’ll find him running up and down the hills of South Wales where he lives.
