Creative Village NYC was launched to connect creative professionals, businesses and organizations with local resources, talent and services. We believe in facilitating interactive events that create a platform to promote, exchange and empower. Members are committed to the success of the each other and meet for the purpose of helping each other develop and prosper.

WHO SHOULD JOIN?

Creative Village NYC welcomes service providers from all industries, creative industry professionals, interns, entrepreneurs, software developers, investors, educators, non-profit leaders, designers, culinary artists (because who doesn’t love food), digital media professionals, advertising professionals, public relations and event specialists.

BENEFITS:

  • Promotion: One at a time, each member is given the opportunity to introduce themselves in front of the entire group. (See Meeting Format) Members are encouraged to promote their skills, business, events or opportunities. This helps facilitate interest and awareness for fellow group members.
  • Exchanges: Member introductions will include a brief pitch. Also known as “Ask For It and Offer It” portion of the meeting. The pitch simply answers two question;  
    1. What do you hope to obtain from the village members? (Ask For It...)
    2. What do you have to offer the village members? (Offer It...)
  • Empowerment: Be empowered by other member’s creativity, experiences, presentations and connections.

MEETING FORMAT:

  1. Welcome: members complete name tags with a few key words relating to their "Ask For It / Offer It" pitches.
  2. Member Introductions: members will state their name, title or affiliation. This will also be the time for members to pitch to the village. Pitch considerations include but are not limited to; the exchange or request of services, talent, opportunities, goods or resources. 
  3. Open Networking: members make exchanges and have open discussions (15+ minutes)
  4. Spotlight Presentation: industry guest speaker, premier opportunity or exchanges, special promotion from service providers, non-profit opportunity, success story or testimonial, ect. (5+ minutes)

      Friends, i'm not sure I can make it to this one, but it is a great topic. We are looking to engage an outstanding IA/UX designer consultant for a several month gig. If you're a great info architect, and not afraid of a challenge, shoot me an email.

      Thanks
