A Business of Animation course and one-to-one mentorship for African animation and game creatives, delivered through LAFAAAC's mobile-first learning platform.
I wrote the Business of Animation course and mentored creatives one to one. It draws on 15+ years of running creative work: pricing, offers and keeping clients.
Creative hubs, learning platforms and talent programmes that want creatives to earn from what they make.
Course content creatives actually finish, written for phones.
Creatives who leave able to price, pitch and keep clients.
Mentorship on your own pricing, offers and clients.
Craft programmes rarely teach pricing, offers or how to talk to clients. Plenty of talented animators could make the work but had never been shown how to sell it.
The course was built around the decisions a working creative actually faces, with mentorship for anyone who wanted feedback on their own situation.
Business teaching only works when it comes from someone who has done it.
Turning pricing, contracts and positioning into short lessons a busy creative will finish.
Short, scannable lessons designed for how people actually learn on mobile.
Feedback on each person's own situation, not a template.
15+ years of running creative work, so the scenarios are ones I have lived.
Helping creatives value their work and say the number out loud.
Seeing the work from the buyer's side, so offers make sense to them.
