In this episode I’m pleased to introduce Cat Rose. Cat has reached out to me last year about publishing a guest blog on my LinkedIn business website. She wrote a wonderful post about upping her game on LinkedIn. And in May, while talking to my friend Ashley Faulkes her name came up again. Ashley told me that she had recently launched a business also related to introverts. So I just had to talk to her ! Long story short, she’s here with me today and we talk about introversion & creatives.
After trying (and failing) to ‘get discovered’ online as an illustrator, I educated myself on marketing and social media. I also used what I’d learnt about design and branding from my years at a design agency and finally things started to click. Now my mission is to share this discovery with other creatives who don’t find marketing comes naturally to them and who shy away from the business end of things.
