The Creative Co-Operative

Who we are

We’re an all-rounder creative services consultancy structured as a social enterprise.

We are a Naarm (Melbourne) based team specialising in branding, marketing and digital services.

All work is performed by migrant Women of Colour (including international students). From facing and overcoming extensive systemic barriers, migrants have uncompromising levels of resilience engineered into their DNA.

Paired with the right mentoring, training and paid opportunity  – we’re building the next generation of intersectional entrepreneurs, startup operators and founders that are going to power our future economy.

By creating new paid work opportunities for Women of Colour, we’ve been levelling the playing field with each of our projects.
