Register for Creative Credits – this is the second, and possibly last round
You might – if you are a business in Manchester, north Cheshire and parts of Lancashire – know about Creative Credits.
Creative Credits is a £4000 grant from NESTA, a government body, for marketing, PR and creative projects. Recipients match it with a £1000 of their funding. So a £5000 project for a cool thousand – that’s a good deal surely?
If you want to know more about Creative Credits click here.
If you registered for October but did not get a grant you will need to re-register. You should be getting an e-mail reminder.
If you want to register for a Creative Credits grants, it only takes two minutes, click through. It is simple and businesses are selected randomly, not on size or project idea. The key rules are that you are VAT registered and have a company number and have been trading for a year.
So worth a few minutes of your time to apply, surely?

I will be filling in my application this weekend. If you’ve any useful hints on how to make the best possible job of it, I’d be very appreciative. We weren’t selected last time: is it a ‘lottery’? I know of one or two companies who’ve benefited greatly…itr really is a ‘no-brainer’. On the other hand I know of many more companies who haven’t heard of it. What exactly is the thinking behind it? And from where exactly does the funding originate?

Sharon,
it is a lottery, so everyone has an equal chance. All you have to do is fill it in -there is no selling, just facts about your company. It takes less than 5 minutes
The thinking is to help the creative sector: get companies that have never used PR, marketing or digital acquainted with what they can offer and in so doing promote the sector
