THE STORY
Two things happened at the same time: Olivia Bond moved from traditional VFX Producing into the business development/bidding departments at work, and at home, finished writing her second book.
​
She was spending a lot of time connecting with industry professionals in pursuit of her day job. She also found herself meeting new people across different creative services, not just VFX - and found something quite striking. There were a significant amount of people across these creative services working on their own projects in their spare time, just as she was.
​
There was a common thread running through those types of people: a hunger to succeed, an openness to meet others, and a keen urgency to understand parts of the process they felt locked out of.​
​
Olivia decided to start putting together a list of people: those who were ambitous, had already completed projects, those who enjoyed meeting others, those who could become each other's clients. Those who would find creative sparks flying in conversation with one another, and those who would see the power in the vision. And those who were on the journey of building something big.
​
And Creative Partners was born. On April 24th, 2025, the very first Creative Partners event was held at Atomic Arts, London - a beautiful building in central London, hosted by a team who value the vision.
​
It was attended by a small group of producers, supervisors, writers, directors, publishers, musicians, actors, business owners... by the following day, Olivia was receiving messages from attendees who were already scheduling follow-up coffees and lunches with people they'd met. Success!!!
​
The next event is already being planned. We hope to grow the collective in the coming months, and years, to help support and connect emerging creatives who are already solidly embedded within a creative service.
​
Keep an eye out for the next one!​
