Welcome!

My goal as a speaker is to show my true self, share openly and give generously.

Want to know a bit more about me…

More about me…

I am passionate about joining the dots between creative and business

Hi, I’m Bec Hughes. Just a little bit of BTS to get the ball-rolling… I’m a lover of coffee and ultra-dark chocolate, obsessed with animal print and renovation shows.

I’m also a career creative and brand consultant with over 25 years experience in the creative industry under my belt. In that time I’ve also built my own successful consultancy which I’ve grown on my terms for the past 7 years.

As a warm, passionate and disarmingly open and honest creative, I engage your audience with war stories, fun anecdotes and thought-provoking ideas that aren’t always the accepted wisdom.

I’m passionate about the role that brand and creativity have to play in every business and share my knowledge generously so your audience go away not only inspired, but inspired to action.

And of course creatives are my people. I dig deeply into all my personal experiences, because I want every bright-eyed, talented, hopeful, hardworking creative to succeed in business. To introduce their creative side to their business side and thrive.

I love to share as a…

How business owners can get more from their creative investments and harness the power of creative for growth.

Building a strategic and aligned brand that sets you apart and sets you up for success.

Building a Sustainable Creative Business for Designers, Developers and Creators in Business

Inspiration, actionable content to support creative business owners to achieve sustainable growth so they can take back control of their time, creativity and finances, drawing on my 25 years in the creative industry.

My keynote talks include…

Spoiler: Your Brand is NOT All About You!
I talk about why brand has become a bit of an ego-trip and the rise of the cult-brand economy. I deconstruct what an aligned brand actually looks like and how powerful that is for business success.

Busting the Myths About Creative Business Growth
There’s more than one way to grow a creative business. In this fun presentation, I share some of my own very personal experiences, bust some of the myths about what creatives ‘should’ do to grow and look at some of the many alternatives that creatives can consider.

Purple Matter, Get Paid to Think!
Strategy is one of the biggest missed opportunities for many creatives. In this talk I’ve share my own journey from creative producer to creative consultant and the impact that had on my business evolution. I also walk through my take on creative strategy – ‘purple matter’ – how to leverage it, and what it can mean for growth.
