Make Shift Meet-Ups are a space for early career creatives to come together. Meet other creatives in the city, learn from established practitioners, and think about the next steps in your creative career.

Each month we have a guest from the Pervasive Media Studio who works in the creative industries. They will be on hand to speak about their work and can give advice. Guest speakers are experts in their field.

We are hitting the ground running with our September Meet Up with a session led by the wonderful Luke Emery, a creative Producer for over 15 years and formerly Studio Producer at the Pervasive Media Studio.

Luke is a dynamic creative producer who has worked in creative tech, curation, theatre, outdoor arts, immersive experiences, advertising, artist development, television and consultancy.

He has heaps of experiences in finding new and innovative ways to carve out a career in the creative industries. He works with people to help them understand their value and build the foundations for a sustainable and fulfilling career.

During this session, Luke will talk us through the many myths of careers in the creative industries, how to tackle them and how to build ways of working that work for you.
