WHY I MENTOR

When I first started out in the industry, I will always remember one magazine Editor who opened up her contacts book and gave me the head start that I needed. Admittedly, I had to work hard to get a name for myself, but that kindness of giving her time and passing on her knowledge has stayed with me. It's time to give back to the industry that has been extremely kind to me and allowed me to work across TV, editorial, radio, commercial, and advertising.

I try to make my sessions as relaxed and informal as possible, and I really don't mind what business questions you ask me; no question is a stupid one.

Early on in my career, I worried that I’d lose out on opportunities if I priced my services too high, so I often accepted below-rate work. I didn’t have a clear idea of industry-standard rates, nor did I have the confidence to ask for what I deserved.

I wasn’t sure how to get my work in front of the people I wanted to work with or how to make my work stand out. I phoned and visited countless publishers—sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Twenty Five-plus years into my career and now running two successful businesses, I have lived experience handling the awkward conversations of rates, contracts, and invoices—I have an answer for almost every scenario!

I didn’t know how to write a really strong and effective pitch. Now, with my most recent venture, The Sensory Home, I have taken this from 'an idea' to an established business. It started with a book, then multiple brand collaborations, and a consultancy service. I have learned about pitching, contracts, branding, and, most importantly, protecting your IP.

Now, I’m passing on my knowledge to other creatives.

THE COURSES ARE FOR

Creatives looking for focused, efficient, and expert guided advice
Individuals looking for guidance on running a creative business. Typically, I am asked about pitching, fees, invoicing, insurance, marketing and how grow creative businesses.
Creative start-ups, freelancers and in-house individuals looking to go freelance.
The majority of my mentees are interior designers, stylists, writers, and product business owners. If I feel that I am unable to offer guidance for your business, I will do my best to recommend an alternative solution for you

Being selected for the 1-1 with Pippa was a wonderful surprise. As an interior photographer, I moved to a new city just over a year ago and started my freelancing business. I was struggling with the direction of my business and knowing how to show up and sell my services. Pippa was absolutely lovely and offered a wealth of knowledge on the broader aspects of running a freelance business as well as interior specific insights which were immeasurably helpful. She provided practical & actionable steps to start me on the right track for really honing in on my brand and achieving my business goals. I would highly recommend these sessions for anyone feeling a little lost and in need of personalised guidance to help them take their business to the next level!

I feel so lucky to have been selected for mentoring sessions with Pippa. I retrained as an interior designer and set up my own business a little over a year ago. I had no idea just how difficult it would be. I was feeling a bit lost so these sessions came at exactly the right time for me. I have had some help on the business side but nothing specific to interior design so Pippa's insight to the industry was invaluable. Thanks to Pippa's feedback and advice I now have a sense of direction, for which I am very grateful. I'd definitely recommend these sessions to anyone else on the same journey.

I have been having someone to one mentoring with Pippa on a couple of aspects of running a creative business that I’m not so strong on. Pippa listened carefully to my issues and offered calm, practical and non-judgemental advice on how to proceed. Pippa is so experienced in the business I feel that she totally understands and I can fully rely on her advice. As well as being experienced, Pippa is able to deliver her help it in such a friendly, supportive way. I always feel quietly confident and empowered after speaking to her.
