Ever wondered what it’s like to build a creative career from scratch – and from the Isle of Wight? Join Dan and Shelley – a husband-and-wife duo who run People One Fifty®, a creative studio that works on everything from videos and animations to big ideas for brands. It’s a chat about what they do, how they got started, and what it’s really like to work in the creative world.
If you’re curious about how ideas become content, how to make a living in the creative industries, or how to grow a business that collaborates with both UK artists and global names – this is your chance to ask anything. With over 20 years industry experience, Dan and Shelley spent time working with big brands and agencies – from McDonald’s to the NHS – before founding People One Fifty®, a creative company with a different approach.
Based in St Lawrence, they create everything from global advertising campaigns, branding, CG animations to AI image generation, video content, AR/VR experiences, and creative toolkits – working directly with clients or in collaboration with agencies as a creative partner.
Learn how they do this growing and working with their network of local, national and global artists, The Creation Population®, a flexible and ever-growing network of creatives, animators, strategists, filmmakers and designers – brought together to match each brief.
They’re passionate about collaboration, creativity, and doing things the right way, and they’re up for answering any and every questions you might have about working in the creative industry. This opportunity is perfect for anyone interested in a career in content creation, animation, or design.
Our Coffee & Chat opportunities are in collaboration with the Isle of Wight Creative Network. Each month you have the chance to meet with a different industry professional and find out about their job, how they got to where they are today, or ask for any advice they have to offer.
Practical info: This opportunity takes place at Ventnor Exchange, your drink is on us. To apply for this opportunity, just tell us why you would like to take part.
Opportunity Date & Time: Wednesday 18th June, 4pm – 5pm.
