About Us
We empower Creatives to do Business and Businesses to be Creative
We don't just spark creativity—we connect it. We're the facilitators, the bridge that brings together creative talent and businesses looking for something different. At the crossroads of art, business, and technology, we make the magic happen by connecting the right people with the right projects and provide everything you need to make the project run smoothly.
Our platform is where artists, innovators, and strategists meet, where brands find not just freelancers, but the perfect creative partners to turn bold visions into reality.
We don't deal in off-the-shelf solutions. We bring together creatives and businesses ready to push boundaries and make something extraordinary. If you're looking for a team to elevate your project or a creative force ready to join forces, we'll make the connection.
Our Four Pillars
Everything we do is built on four powerful pillars that drive our mission and shape every connection we make.
The Creative Collaborators CIC
Our Mission
Our mission is simple. We want to empower Creatives to do Business, and Businesses to be Creative.
And we have created a few ways to do that.....
Three Ways to Get Involved
Whether you're a business, creative, or working for social good—there's a place for you here.
Help Creatives & Businesses do Business
We help businesses find creative talent through our Creative Directory and FENIX.
FENIX is custom software that streamlines project management between businesses and creatives. A business submits a brief, which is automatically sent to up to three relevant creatives. FENIX handles onboarding, agreement generation, and manages the project from start to completion, ensuring all deliverables are tracked. Everything is automated -once agreements are in place, FENIX generates a project for the agreed deliverables, guiding both parties through to final approval.
More about FenixWe make it easy to Connect and Grow
Through our knowledge Base, specialised workshops and headspace area at The Hub.
What is The Hub? It's where you will find us. Our home, along with Voyager and Leicester Fashion district. We have a co-development space where creatives can book for how long they need and we will ensure the desk is there everyday. They will have access to other creative collaborators members working from the space, from all walks of life.

Community is in everything we do. As a Community Interest Company, we're built differently. Our structure means we can focus on what really matters: supporting creatives and strengthening the Leicester creative community.
Our Profits are Reinvested into the Creative Community
60% of Creative Collaborators profits from memberships, fees and partnerships are reinvested into projects that showcase the Leicester Creative Community. This means when you work with us, you're not just getting great service—you're actively contributing to the growth and visibility of local creative talent.
Purpose is a Currency We Accept
For any freelancers who don't have the finances but want the paid membership, they can get involved with Create 4 a Cause. 1 project for Create 4 a Cause a month will upgrade you to the next tier of membership. We believe in making creativity accessible and rewarding those who give back.
