Let’s get social

The Savvy Creative is a place for creatives to lea The Savvy Creative is a place for creatives to learn the essentials of building a business.

I believe something very important is lacking in arts education of any kind and that is basic business skills; marketing and finance included. But EVERY creative needs these skills… you tend to learn them through a lot of trial and error or if you’re like me, once it’s too late and you’ve thrown in the towel to get a “stable job”. 

I’m on a mission to empower artists early in their career. 

I’m Nell. 

I always wanted to be an actor. 

No back up plan. No plan B. 

My single mother was hugely supportive of me so when I inherited a large sum of money (I’m talking life changing) at 16 nobody batted an eyelid when I moved to LA at 21 to go to Drama school with a big fat bank account.

Fast forward 4 years and I had spent it all. I completely panicked and moved home to Sydney where I had no network and no real credits to speak of. Over the next few years I even got myself into hefty credit card debt as I had no real job and was still doggedly trying to make acting work going back and forth to LA. 

I fortunately landed an entry level job at a major publisher and worked my way up from there in different sales roles. 

Looking back I always thought if I had just had a bit more financial literacy earlier on, I might have had a better chance at being able to stay the course. 

I decided to go to Film School to study business and leadership with the thought to build my own company one day. I realised that a lot of what I was learning and had learned in my years in corporate was actually really useful for creatives and freelancers and identified a gap in the market. 

The Savvy Creative was born. I started writing an ebook whilst on maternity leave with my son and worked with an agency on the branding and website. 

I began to teach at my old film school and test out some of the content. It was getting great response. 

We just had our first in person event in Sydney with fantastic speakers all covered important topics like Marketing 101, Diversifying your income from your skillset, building an online presence, maximising tax (legally) and more.
