love this trend! Hereโ€™s ours โžก๏ธ

Itโ€™s been offered repeatedly - โ€œIโ€™d love the experience, even if itโ€™s unpaidโ€ - but Iโ€™m vocally anti- it.

Itโ€™s valuable experience, ofc it is. I did unpaid placements and loved them. But itโ€™s irresponsible - discriminatory even - for employers to offer them. It means only people in the right location, with the right safety net and zero real world responsibilities can consider them. That creates a disadvantage in the market extremely early.

We have paid interns from day one, even when it was financially painful to do so. That is not their problem.

One for fellow freelancers and business owners. Youโ€™ll get this all the time โ€”

โ€œI want all of that, and I have (insert number significantly lower than what you quoted. Possibly with suggestion that someone else is willing to do it for that much).โ€

My job is to protect the resource we need to deliver the kind of content weโ€™re known for. If the budgetโ€™s not there, either the scope of work is getting reduced or itโ€™s not happening.

Donโ€™t waste your time creating competition from nothing. Make friends and be nice to each other. Thereโ€™s enough room for everybody.

I am lucky to have several (very similarly placed) founders to me who are in my corner regardless, readily offering advice or referring work, and vice versa.

Nope. Didnโ€™t work this hard to build our level of reputation and portfolio only to say yes to anyone and anything. If itโ€™s not brand-aligned and values- aligned, weโ€™re not doing it.

Used to, as a freelancer. Eventually learned you cannot scale a business that way (and nobody is expecting you to).

Oh I LOVE the culture Iโ€™ve built. I gym when I want, I flex to see family, I work from home or office or cafe, I travel off-peakโ€ฆ and so can everybody else.

Learn to listen to your gut bc itโ€™s never wrong on this ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ

When 3 become 4 ๐Ÿ˜

Welcome Sophia to the Featured Studio team.

In March 2024, I got a cold DM from Sophia. At that time, she had a day job but really wanted to go all in on videography (which she clearly had a talent for). She introduced herself and asked if I had any advice. Happily, I BLOODY LOVE talking all things women going after their goals soโ€ฆ

For the next year, we met quarterly - and stayed in touch in between - to navigate her transition into full-time freelancing. Naturally as part of that, she became a trusted member of our extended team here.

Fast forward to this summer, I get a msg asking about the potential of a more permanent opportunity. The timing was impeccable - we had two major contracts on the line that, once signed, would greenlight the next stage of the teamโ€™s expansion. I had already been weighing up the who, what and how (weโ€™re not stopping at 4 ๐Ÿ‘€) and Sophiaโ€™s name was firmly on those pages as a Video Producer.

She joins us initially 3 days per week for the next six months ๐Ÿ’–โœจ

Major!! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†

Itโ€™s taken 7 years of hard work, risk and resilience to get to where we are today.

Iโ€™ve never had investment. Never taken a bank loan. There have been YEARS where I took home the least. Days where only pennies were left in the account. Thatโ€™s the stuff you donโ€™t see on Instagram, where everything looks like overnight success.

Grants like this have a BIG impact - it gives you permission to invest in the things you know will help you get to the next level, instead of bumping them down the (never ending) list of competing financial priorities.

Thank you x Santander UK for seeing what weโ€™ve done so far and for this boost during our biggest year yet ๐Ÿš€โœจ

postcards from Malta ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡น

Returning for the second year running as video partner at because we are ALL ABOUT brilliant women disrupting their industries for the better, and THAT is all over.

Itโ€™s a lean team of just Fabi and I on site โ€” working around the clock to amplify this event in realtime, filming, editing and posting multiple videos on a sub-24 hour turnaround loop.

And we LOVE it ๐Ÿคฉ

Because we know the mission, we see the impact, we back the founders. And they trust us โ€” as an extension of their team โ€” to do what we do best.

Hosted 2026, wrapped!
