We describe ourselves as Creative Intermediaries.
We encourage businesses, and educators to be more creative and enable creative practitioners to be more commercial.
Somewhere in between, we take on creative projects which require a commercial perspective or business projects which require more creativity.
We do not fit in a neat box –but would you want that?

Based in Manchester, Creative Academy was established by Janet Harrison, a ‘creative’ and business woman.
Having formed her own businesses and worked in and alongside the creative sector, she recognises the gaps which occur between creativity and commerciality.
She has built a reputation as an enabler – helping others to find their unique strengths and abilities in order to achieve success. Bringing hard edged commerciality to creative projects and creative solutions to problem solving.
Encouraging joined up thinking and establishing win-win situations are key to each project. In addition, all development work involves creativity in the form of improvised drama. Creativity is the key to unlocking solutions, encourage collaborative working and re-generating communities.
