How to pitch, sell and deliver relevant ideas

Whether you’re pitching for funding or a corporate project this immersive workshop looks at how to encapsulate your light bulb ideas into saleable, creative and commercial concepts. We’ll then look at presenting those ideas, the process of producing after the pitching is done and collaborating with others who become involved in the final delivery.

Empowering you to approach ideas with a creative and commercial mind, unique selling points and how to deliver the nuts and bolts efficiently, this workshop features a current real world brief for a brand new pop-up hotel concept. Offering guests a unique way to travel and access original entertainment experiences this new brand needs a relevant strategy and delivery expertise. Let’s get to work.

This is an immersive and engaging way to get inspiration, ideas and practical information before pitching and delivering relevant ideas privately or on behalf of an organisation. Built around the following key pillars of Creative & Commercial, Research & Development, Delivery and Measurement we will work our way through a real world brief and be ready to launch by the end of the workshop.
