This year Studio II is taking a brave new step in its journey and as Director, I couldn't be more excited!
Later this year, Studio II will be offering creative freelancers a membership service. This membership will include benefits such as Networking, Coaching, Collaborative opportunities and more! Details of these benefits will be released in the lead-up to the launch of the pilot programme on June 1st. The membership will be officially open on August 1st (Studio II's Birthday)!
The name of this Membership will be "Studio II Collective".
You might already know us by this name as this is what the full name of Studio II has been since the beginning. However, with this transition, the team and I think it's more fitting to give the Membership this name and henceforth the "Agency" side of the business will be named Studio II.
The price for joining Studio II Collective will be set to £200/year.
This can also be paid in monthly instalments if members prefer with no added cost - this comes to £16.67/month. Our main priority when setting this price was to make sure it was affordable - after all, we're freelancers just like you, and we understand an expensive monthly cost likely isn't in the budget.
Studio II Collective's First Priority is the Community.
Nothing matters more to the team and me than building a strong community that can help support one another through shared experience, coaching and growing together. This also means that we're looking for members who also want to help this community rather than look to sell their services immediately.
When I began Studio II just over 2 years ago, it was about having a team of us with a common struggle band together to not only help one another but help others too. During this journey, we've grown to work with other freelancers across the UK in different disciplines and different sectors but every time encounter the same realisation - we enjoy being a community rather than working alone.
Which brought us to this decision, driven by the question "How can we build a stronger community?"
The vision for Studio II Collective is to have hundreds of freelancers nationwide able to grow and collaborate through the benefits we provide in the membership.
Right now you can register your interest in joining the pilot programme on June 1st by booking a call with one of the Studio II team. There we'll let you know more about what the membership entails and afterwards send an onboarding form.
This form will ask for your contact details so we can get in touch with you and it'll also sign you up to our mailing list which will help keep you up to date on feature announcements and key dates. If you're not interested in being signed up to our mailing list then please let us know or feel free to unsubscribe at any point using a link at the bottom of the emails.
So what are you waiting for? Book a call with our team to find out more! Even if you're not a freelancer, we're looking for other connections that can help bring value to this community and if you fit the bill - we're eager to chat!
