I can’t tell you what a difference being part of this organisation is making to the journey of developing Bamboo Media Productions Ltd. Bit-by-bit, with every talk, zoom, programme, workshop, and mentor session we’re getting fitter and fitter as a business.
It’s fantastic, it’s given all of us the opportunity to challenge ourselves really and put ourselves in the situation of what it’s actually like to pitch for our businesses right now in front of an audience we haven’t yet met. It puts us on the spot. Things like a one minute pitch, a three minute pitch, these things are really important to have prepared.
It’s really supportive, it’s a great atmosphere, a room of really talented young businesses and people who are really enthusiastic about what it is they’re doing. Creative UK is certainly helping us a great deal.
