The creative industries are broken, we’re here to fix it by helping creators and artists achieve cultural success on their terms. We empower them as the Founders and CEOs of their own businesses in an industry that traditionally sees them as a product. We’ve been in the creative industries since we were young - it all started as a club-night during university. We’ve seen it from all angles and are as passionate about creativity as we always have been. But we’ve become disillusioned with an industry that is one sided and all too often setup purely for financial gain. Having spent the last twelve years as the home for the most unique, ambitious and creative talent on earth, we’ve come to believe deeply that we need to improve how the world enables and rewards what they do. That’s why our team brings together experience from every corner of the creative industries for a dynamic, artist-driven approach to our work. We book tours, launch businesses, create content, release records and build tools that empower artists and creators as entrepreneurs. Then we connect them with brands for authentic campaigns and content. Our commercial model is the best in the industry, allowing artists to retain more ownership than anywhere else. Our roster earns over 300% more than other management, label and publishing deals.

Sapling was born out of a passion for high-quality spirits combined with love for the natural world. We exist to tackle climate change through supporting regenerative farming, refillable packaging solutions, and planting a tree for every bottle sold. Each tree is fully traceable through a GPS tracker on their website. This gives customers the opportunity to learn about the tree they have planted by purchasing the bottle. We want to turn the sustainability conversation around from an outlook of doom and gloom to one which champions solutions. We give people the chance to plant trees and help the environment by enjoying delicious, quality spirits. All produced in the UK, Sapling is four times distilled from British wheat, which leaves a fresh finish with a hint of sweetness. Drink Aware ;)

Virgin Limited Edition is Sir Richard Bransons collection of stunning retreats. So what’s Virgin Limited Edition all about? When you refer to something that’s a ‘limited edition’, it normally implies a kind of extraordinary, rare quality, usually offering something better, exclusive or more desirable… well, that’s exactly what we do. We have a private island, mountain retreat, game reserve, lodge, tented camp, vineyard and luxury villas. Eclectic, yes, but all are unique and operate with the sole aim of creating amazing experiences. Each property in our collection has its own personality, and like any company we won’t compromise on quality, but if during your stay you don’t see something that makes you smile we haven’t done our job properly! We aim to create retreats that differ from our competitors in their service, style and proposition – barefoot luxury is the name of the game!
