What’s Creative Plus Business?
We’re a social enterprise dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about business skills. We help through sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice. We believe that a bit of naughtiness, tempered with a kind heart and a big dose of professionalism, is the key to helping creative people understand the boring basics of business.
Hey Mate delivers mental health, wellness support, and education to the music, entertainment, performing arts, and creative industries. Their team of mental health professionals supports artists, industry professionals, companies, and the wider community to improve mental health and well-being.
Their mission is to bring back that feel-good feeling to the community and industries we support daily through the use of industry and vocation specific support and education.
