WHO WE DO IT FOR
We’re for those who are carving their own path
Uncommon Folk are creative & lifestyle founders/freelancers/brand builders/authentic thinker {delete appropriate} who are captivated by purpose & led by a free way of life.
You see things differently. You see beyond the 9-5, and are carving your own unique, uncommon path.
For those who are more than a 9-5
HOW WE DO IT
We’re changing the narrative
Our purpose is to change the narrative on outdated, traditional career paths.
We are here to show that you CAN succeed on a creative route, you CAN build a life on your own terms, and you CAN do good for people & the planet along the way.
Our mission is to ensure everyone, who wishes to take the uncommon path, has the ability thrive as a creative & live a life on their own terms.
Here’s how….
- Unite a global community of creative forward-thinkers. Form valuable connections over shared experience with likeminded creatives. We celebrate unique thought & unite by common purpose.
- Support you with action-led, results-driven advice from leading experts to fill skills gaps. We know you're busy, so we give you the skills without the BS.
- Collectively change the dated societal negative narrative of following a creative career and lifestyle-driven path. We do this through showcasing those who have broken the quo & normalising new, modern ways of working.
- We are real. We open up on the honest, raw realities of scaling a creative or lifestyle focused brand or freelance venture. So you know you're not alone in the ride.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
A note from Kimberly
Hey, I’m Kimberly, digital marketer & the one behind all this.
Thanks so much for hanging out over here. If you made it this far, I’m going to assume you’re a creative founder looking for more than the standard “business” communities out there.
I hear you.
When I was searching for likeminded (laid back yet hard working, lifestyle-led creative types) I was quickly hit with a barrage of cliches. From boss babes to 10k months, it was all pretty bleak.
That’s when Uncommon Folk joined this world (well, we started as Create Co. but soon wanted a name that reflected our bold community). I’m passionate about providing a space for you to grow & scale on your own terms. With people just like you here for you every step of the way.
If you’ve just started on the ride, or you’re well on your way, welcome. I genuinely love have you here. Please do drop me a line & let me know what you’re all about. I always want to know how we can help your ride.
Quick fire...
- I'm a Psychology & Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Digital Marketing graduate with a passion for buyer behaviour and strategy. There are so many people out there that make marketing seem an overwhelming place - I'm all about showing you it doesn't have to be (seriously, it doesn't).
- I'm based down on the South Coast of the UK. We're all about our global creative family though - so please do shout if you're local or across a few oceans.
- I'm all about the ocean life & I'm lucky to be able to pop down to see her everyday but dream of seeing her from my house one day.
- I live for snacks, good boi doggos, and well, more snacks.
