‘The Pitch’ gives creative industry entrepreneurs and business owners the chance to share their business, product or idea to key industry players including Sarah Hurley, Lisa Miles, Simon Burns and Steve Mitchell, for mentoring, advice, industry insights and potentially even investment and connections.

The Pitch gives small businesses and creative innovators, additional support in order for them to progress. Whether you have a brand new product idea, small business start-up or are already an established brand, we are looking for you. Previous applicants have gone on to develop product lines, sign licensing contracts, publish books, launch products, supply their products to retailers and wholesalers worldwide, appear on tv and gain investment funding - among other things! As well as making valuable contacts and getting unique expert insight into their business.​

We're excited to share that the The Creative Pitch will also be held in the USA in 2025!

When applying, please let us know whether you'd like to Pitch at the Stitches trade show in Birmingham, UK or at the Creativation trade show in Seattle, USA.
