Your weekly dose of branding advice for creatives to help you share your work, grow your audience, and own your moxie.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your work went viral, Reader?

Maybe even secretly hoped it would happen?

🤩 Millions of people sharing it
🤩 Inbox full of sales & opportunities
🤩 Career skyrocketed in an instant

Sounds like a dream, right?!

But what does that actually feel like?

And what if you’re not really ready for it?! 🤯

Well, that's exactly what happened to illustrator Ruby Jones shared a piece of work with her few hundred followers in response to an event in New Zealand to try to bring people together...

And it flew around the world!

But Ruby didn't have anything ready to sell her work, book in clients, or even have a desk to work at 🙈

(Don't worry, she's levelled up a lot since then, and now has over 57.3k followers, 2 published books, an online shop full of her work incredible clients, and a desk!)

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk to illustrator Ruby Jones about...

✨ what happens when your art goes viral and Time Magazine becomes your first client

✨ insights for publishing books as an artist

✨ how to simplify your social media strategy and follow your creative instincts

✨ how important your values are to your creative business

✨ and how to keep creating when the world is overwhelming.

✨ plus so much more.
