THE FOLKE.
Escape the social media grind.
Strategy & words for creative founders, artists, makers & designers.
Edge. Identity. Voice. Storytelling. Connection.
We level everything to work for you, whether you're building a tiny creative business, could fit the team in a bothy, or run things on a bigger scale. There are no hacks. Creative vision needs a clear strategy and sharp writing.
Social media can be a focus trap. We set up The Folke to do things differently. We got tired of strategic thinking stuck on rinse and repeat cycles and chasing algorithms. Years of branding, marketing and copywriting experience tells us what works. And why.
Give people a reason to take notice when you have something to share and say. It takes time to create what you do. You edit videos and put together endless reels, posts and stories to get your work out there. And then zilch. You might get a few likes or followers. There's a better way.
We can do this as pay-what-you-can email guidance / monthly breathing space group workshops over Zoom. Both options will give you strategic clarity on what to do next and a simple plan to do things yourself. Or we can handle the work for you or offer fractional branding, marketing and copywriting support.
If you work for an arts organisation, an agency, a gallery, museum, or a cultural centre, this is a big tent. If you're an actor or performer, head over to Fringe Folke.
WHAT WE DO BEST ...
Bringing fresh air on what's next. We join the dots to make sure every part of your creative strategy helps you get found, known and remembered.
Making you distinct and impossible to ignore. Distinct in how you show up, what you say and how you say it.
Translating your creative purpose, place in culture and taste. And stitching everything together.
Copywriting. Finding the words for your website, webshop, platforms, creative copy, newsletters, emails, releases, shows, exhibitions, artist statements, bios, grant and exhibition proposals,
Building your email list. If people sign up they want to hear from you.
Connecting with people off screen. Create a zine, event, get out there.
