Getting Started With CreativeGuild

In 2018, CreativeMornings announced the newest member of our family: the CreativeGuild, a membership-based network for creatives. We like to think of it as a more soulful version of LinkedIn with a Rolodex of heart-forward creative companies and individuals. It's a place where small companies can get discovered for big gigs, where big companies can unlock new talent pools, and were everyone is celebrated for their creative work!
Why is a directory of creative companies in your city potentially awesome for you and your chapter?
It offers:
- Increased opportunities for your attendees to connect between events
- A chance for your community to discover jobs and get hired for gigs that are local, global, and remote
- A growing collection of companies who may be interested in partnering with your chapter
- A perk to offer partners that will connect them a local and global audience
- An inspiring supply of local content, projects, jobs, and talent to share with your community — and maybe even find speaker ideas
Each CreativeMornings chapter receives a few discount codes:
- For hosts: Each host receives one forever-free company page. You can use this as you please — for your personal company or gift it to someone you love. It’s our way of saying thank you for all that you do! Claim yours by going to creativemornings.com/join and use the code CMHQ sent you at checkout. (Need a code? Get in touch!)
- For partners: You have a special code that you can give to your local partners for six months free on the CreativeGuild. How you share this with partners is totally up to you. We only ask that you share your partner code discreetly with individual partners, and don’t post it in public spaces (such as social media). For ideas on how to use this code, read the partner discount code section of the Handbook.
The partner code is PARTNERLOVE plus your city’s abbreviation. For example, for CreativeMornings/New York, it’s PARTNERLOVENYC. You can find your chapter’s abbreviation in your chapter icon on the cities page. - For all volunteers: You can share the code CMFAMILY with your whole team for 50% off a CreativeGuild membership, for life.
