Connecting with Industry
Connecting with Industry
Keeping connected with what's happening in the industry is very important. Here are some tips for staying connected:
Signing up to newsletters and social media of key industry figures and organisations.
Keeping your LinkedIn, creative social medias and portfolios updated and current. You want to be ready and proud of the work you are showing people at any given moment.
Go to festivals, meet ups, events, showcases or up-and-coming performer's shows in your areas and pay attention to award-winners in your industry.
Networking is very important! Make sure you are regularly attending events related to your industry and staying in touch with your friends and what projects they are working on. (See the section below for some resources for finding out about events). When participating in events, make sure you know who is going and strike up a conversation about their work, you never know where it could lead.
