Justine Purcell, Founder/Principal
I’m here to help arts professionals expand and amplify their beautiful businesses.
For the first 15+ years of my career, I helped big global firms with their storytelling, digital presence, and brand. My clients spanned automotive, pharma, retail, financial and luxury hospitality. I learned a lot about what it takes to make it - bottomless budgets certainly helped, but more often than not, money wasn't the main ingredient. Today my consulting work is in the same capacity, but with creatives and creative orgs. The world needs artists. I help artists play a bigger part in shaping the world we're living in. In parallel, I explore technology's role in augmenting artistic business pursuits. I’m also a grad student at Queen’s, studying Arts Leadership and researching AI’s disruptive role in the arts.
