Co-founders Dawn and Angela have been best friends since they were 11. Liverpudlians born and bred, they grew up in Bootle and Litherland respectively and quickly became the ying to each other’s yang. Always full of drive, attack and ambition, with an optimistic and positive approach to life.  Dawn’s the thinker, creative strategist and slightly bonkers one. Angela is the super friendly, people person who’s all about bringing people together. Dawn’s also big on ripping up the rule book and affecting transformation and Angela thrives on developing business through relationships and joining the dots. Together, they have built International careers and are now wanting to give back and make a difference to creative and digital businesses through their unique and powerful blend of skills and styles.

Working with Dawn and Angela, you will be guaranteed to have a high impact experience – they did consider the tagline “You’ll hear them before you see them”! They have a deep-rooted understanding and appreciation of the ‘real world’ which SMEs inhabit and have a dazzling array of experts that will help them pivot and transform their business.  They will help you, stretch you and support you – and are only in the business of creating true, long term relationships and making a positive and concrete impact to your business growth and your bottom line.  We all have something extraordinary, whether we know it or not and Dawn and Angela will help you unlock it. And, they are big believers in Oscar Wilde’s famous adage – “Never love anybody who treats you like you’re ordinary.”

Our purpose and our why is simply – we’re all about inspiring and enabling the growth of our world class creative and digital entrepreneurs to help scale the region and propel us onto the International stage.

Get ready for a life less ordinary.
