Creative Courage: The Creative Business Podcast

The ‘4 Ps’ Strategy That Will Future-Proof Your Creative Business


Listen Later

Does business feel a bit slow at the moment?

You’ve got the portfolio, but enquiries and referrals aren’t coming in like they used to.

And with AI rapidly evolving, a lot of creatives are asking themselves if things are only going to get worse.

In this episode, I break down the shift I believe every creative business owner needs to make if they want to stay relevant, profitable and in demand over the next 5–10 years.

Most studios aren’t struggling because their work isn’t good enough, they’re struggling because of how they’re positioned. And that positioning is turning them into commodities.

I walk you through the “4 Ps of Power Positioning” that will make you irreplaceable. I’ve seen this work for so many creative business owners. So, if business is feeling slow, or you’re earning less than you should be, this is for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • Why business feels slow right now.
  • The positioning mistakes struggling studios are making.
  • The ‘4 Ps’ that keep businesses relevant and growing.
  • What AI can’t replace.
  • Myths around niching.
  • How to avoid pricing ceilings.
  • And more…
