Published information about the creative business workshop included the following details:

Create your own Business Formula
There’s a big difference between planning for a successful creative business and ‘writing a business plan’. The two are not necessarily the same.
A ‘business plan’ does not automatically guarantee business success. Many business plans present the details but fail to address the fundamentals.
Any plan for a creative or digital business must be based on the values and objectives of the entrepreneurs concerned and at its heart must be a realistic ‘business formula’.

The short interactive creative business workshop is designed to help creative and digital businesses to combine creative talent with smart business thinking.
It will cover:
1. Clarifying your Business Objectives
2. Identifying your Competitive Advantage
3. Strategic Marketing


David has advised hundreds of creative enterprises about business development, marketing, business strategy, pricing, intellectual property, leadership and financial management. He speaks about creativity and business at conferences and creative industries events world-wide.

David is the author of two books written for creative businesses, both of which are available in eBook, paperback and Audiobook formats.

His latest book is on strategic marketing: ‘Chase One Rabbit: Strategic Marketing for Business Success. 63 Tips, Techniques and Tips for Creative Entrepreneurs’.

He is also the author of the highly-acclaimed book ‘T-Shirts and Suits: A Guide to the Business of Creativity’.
