Creative Boom celebrates 15 years this month. Can you believe that? Fifteen whole years. And boy, has it been a wild ride! We launched in the middle of the global economic crisis. Have had seven prime ministers. Left the European Union. Had three recessions. Lived through a global pandemic. And said goodnight to Queen Elizabeth II and hello to King Charles III. We've seen the first major war in Europe since 1945 and the rise of AI, with its questionable effect on jobs. To say it's been a tumultuous time for both Creative Boom and our audience is an understatement. It wasn't until early 2021 that I was able to put my full-time love into this venture. Something that was previously a side project. I suppose, a mission. And I was able to commit my whole career to Creative Boom. As has always been the case, this thing I started in July 2009 continues to give back in more ways than I ever expected. It's taught me so much about myself, the industry, and boosted my skills and connections. It is constantly evolving, and I hope continues to improve. But enough about me! I know you've been through it, too. I understand the ups and downs, highs and lows. What you've done to adapt and survive. And now we face an uncertain future, more than ever before. Where will technology take us? What will we be doing 15 years from now? Who knows. But it's exciting. I'm optimistic for us all. Even though 2024 has been really difficult for me, personally, I am so thankful for Creative Boom. And for all of you who continue to visit it, support it, and enjoy it. Thanks for all the love! And happy 15th birthday, Creative Boom! 😘

May I get some help from my fellow creatives, please? We're writing a fresh tips article for Creative Boom, as part of our upcoming 15th anniversary celebrations. If you're curious, please do read on... We launched in the wake of the global economic crisis of 2007. Since then, we’ve had six prime ministers, most of them Conservative. We left the European Union. We've had three recessions, a global pandemic, said goodnight to Queen Elizabeth II and hello to King Charles III... To say it’s been a tumultuous time is an understatement! Like you, we've learned so much over the past 15 years. Tech, social media, changing algorithms, new specialities, SEO, and new markets and demands. I'm writing a piece on 'Future Directions for Creative Professionals: Strategies for Continued Success'. And would love your thoughts. We've all survived (and many of us, knackered). But how do we survive the next decade? What should we be focusing on? Learning? Keeping an eye on? I'd love your expert thoughts below, and I'll include as many as I can in the final piece, along with a link to your website. (At least a link still holds value, for now!) Thanks so much! 😊
