Hello there

​​

I founded Carly Cook Creative in 2021 after starting a family and trying to get back on the career ladder but the doors weren't opening for me. I have always wanted to be a Creative Director and eventually realised I needed to forge my own path. I lept into freelance life with no clients, no savings but a conviction that I could make it work.

​

I started out saying yes to everything, my background is in events, communications, creative and project management and I found myself doing a little bit of everything. I loved it but eventually wanted to streamline and refine what I was known for. A stint working for Creative UK affirmed my love for creatives and passion to work in creative teams, delivering creative work.

​​

I especially love bringing brands and campaigns to life and leading creative teams to make client ideas actually happen. I have that unusual skill of being creative but also loving project management.

 

When I'm not designing, directing creative teams or managing events, I'm busy with my family of boys adding as much colour and joy to life as possible.

 

I call Bedford home, landing here via Kent, Essex, Norwich and Newcastle. I love our small town with a huge heart and am helping to connect creative industries professionals locally to find a community of kindred spirits.

​

I have worked across many sectors from the creative industries to healthcare and non-profits. They have all had one thing in common, creating impact and improving lives.

​

Whilst it's my name on this website, I work with many other designers, photographers, filmmakers so drop me an email or hit me up on socials if you're a creative and you'd like a chat.

​

I love nothing more than a creative conversation so get in touch any time!
