About Creative Cuppa
Join us for a chance to meet, connect and learn from other creatives—whether you're just starting out or have years of experience—at our monthly Creative Cuppa.
Each event begins with a TED-style talk on Creative Cardiff’s monthly theme, followed by an informal hour to build relationships, share knowledge, and uncover new opportunities (with coffee and cake, of course!).
September’s theme: Working Internationally in partnership with Media Cymru
This month we’ll explore how creatives and cultural organisations in Wales can connect with global audiences. Whether it’s showcasing work abroad, building an international network, or using digital platforms to grow your reach—our guest speaker will share practical tips, stories and advice on working beyond borders.
This session will be especially useful for creatives who are curious about international opportunities, or who want to start thinking globally while staying rooted in Wales.
For this session we'll be joined by Becci Scotcher, Senior Grants and Programmes Manager at PRS Foundation. Becci is a visionary music business executive with over two decades of experience in partnerships, programme development, communications, and export. A champion of equity in the music sector, Becci is renowned for their compassionate leadership and dedication to fostering sustainable international careers through connection and collaboration.

In 2024, Becci successfully launched UK Sounds, a national export brand promoting UK music on the global stage. A mentor for SEWEM, Becci supported cross-cultural collaboration and women’s empowerment in the music industry.

Under their leadership, PRS Foundation has surpassed gender pledges and championed intersectional approaches to supporting underrepresented music creators.
