What We’re Offering

Selected participants will receive:

  • Three months of free consulting

  • Monthly one-on-one sessions (30 minutes each)

  • Remote by default

You’ll be working directly with a creative industry veteran to build a clearer strategy for your creative work, while also gaining support in moving your professional career forward with more confidence.

The focus is on helping you think through where you’re headed, how to position your work, and how to make progress without losing sight of why you started creating in the first place.

Who This Opportunity Is For

This opportunity is for people earlier in their creative careers who may be experiencing some very common (and very real) challenges.

You may be a good fit if you:

  • Have a portfolio of work but feel unsure how to apply it in the real world

  • Feel confident in your creative ability but uncertain about how to break into the industry

  • Are trying to balance job security with maintaining your creative identity

  • Are actively developing an original project

  • Feel uncertain about how to position your work in a competitive and unstable creative landscape

If you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, we encourage you to review Embreate’s portfolio and previous Creator Boost participants to get a sense of the kinds of work and creators we support.

How to Apply

To apply, please complete the form linked below and include:

  • A short description of the project you’re working on or want to develop

  • The type of support you’re looking for

  • Why you think this opportunity would be helpful for you

  • What you hope to gain from the experience

  • A link to a portfolio or at least one completed project that represents your work

All responses combined must be 250 words or fewer.

Applications are due by the end of each month. 

Selection & What Happens Next

  • Our selection committee meets on the third week of every month. 

  • All applicants will receive a response confirming whether or not they’ve been selected. 

  • Selected participants, upon completing the program will:

    • Take part in a short exit interview upon completion of the free mentoring program. 

    • Be featured in a case study published on Embreate’s Creator Boost page. 

These case studies help us continue offering accessible support to emerging creatives while sharing real examples of how guidance at the right moment can make a difference.
