Creative Collective is a passionate and tireless group of dedicated individuals who provide unique opportunities to promote artistic and cultural organizations/businesses in the region. While I was working for a small non-profit, their resources and member events allowed for valuable collaborations and promotion. They will work with you to make sure your membership works for you! A very worthwhile investment.

The Creative Collective has been, and continues to be, the driving force behind my businesses success behind the scenes. From the beginning their innovative approach to creative business development has helped me find ways to translate my companys services to a wider community and they have helped me develop my network through their community leverage. They take time to understand me as an artists, my businesses role in the community as a whole and are always there to help me connect and innovate.

Fantastic community builder and superstar player in the artistic and cultural life of the north shore. In so many ways, from promoting the Improbable Places Poetry Tour to helping me make my weekend must-check-out list, the creative collective is my go-to site!! Thanks for all you do!!

When we started Moonrise Fae in mid 2018 we had little idea what we would be doing or how we would be able to tell the community about our peculiar kind of services. Fortunately, the Collective DID have ideas about how we could market our performances and workshops to the people who would want them, and connect us to collaborators who would help us do what we wanted to do. Creative Collective helped us find the opportunities we needed to thrive, gave us great advice about our digital footprint and how to better reach our audience, and promoted us on all of their channels sending clients our way. Being a creative business is an incredibly difficult world to navigate, and Creative Collective just has the resources and know-how to help make that process just that much easier.

Creative Collective continues to be an essential part of the vibrant growth of the North Shores creative community in recent years. They work tirelessly to promote art and culture in the region, and their talent and resources have been so important for collaboration within the community. And they are amazing people to boot!

John and his team is amazing. They run a flawless event in Salem for the whole month of October. We had record breaking sales. They all ROCK!!!!

LOVE the Creative Collective! Art and Business/Non Profit collaborations are essential for the growth of all and this group GETS it in a big way! Talented, smart, social, creative and innovative - a real honor to have them in our community!

The Creative Collective is the best organization for connecting small businesses with the local creative community on the North Shore. They are great at developing opportunities that leverage the unique skills that their growing network contains. They are a nice group of people to work with as well!

We Love the Creative Collective. We are members and have had so many great opportunities come up after networking with other members at Collective events.

John is a delight to work with. Quick grasp of the situation. Knows what to do. Easy going. Good-natured. Funny. Quick follow-up/turnaround. He also REALLY knows Salem. Who is who. What shots are important, etc. No matter who is running around taking pictures at any given event, Johns are invariably the best and most-used. If John is on the job, I dont worry. As an event planner, thats pretty important!

Creative Collective has been an integral part of my development as a working artist in the community. The connections Ive made through their network has far surpassed what I expected and the opportunities that Ive had because of those connections have been amazing.

We are so fortunate here in Salem to have Creative Salem working so hard to make our city vibrant, beautiful and fun! Whether they are creating and running a cool masquerade ball or interesting festival; bringing attention to all corners of the arts scene around town; photographing an event so strikingly; or thinking outside of the box to help push our city forward in a unique, inclusive way - they are a treasure here in Salem! They are my own first stop whenever I need to think about a challenge in a new way and I highly recommend them!

Creative Salem has been a huge benefit in many ways...They are great at making us aware of all the cool goings on in Salem. They also have excellent programs that we constantly take advantage of, getting discounts at our favorite eateries and entertainment venus. They also catalog so much of whats Salem and capture the spirit and energy of the City and people.Thanks Creative Salem!

People come to Salem from all over the world to see the great show of an amazing mix of culture, art, history, and wonderful people. If Salem is the circus then Creative Salem is the ringmaster. Creative Salem is a touchstone for those who want to know whats shaking in Salem whether is be a classic tradition, a new hot music spot, or a festival full of fun for the whole family. And when Creative Salem throws a party it is an unbelievably well planned and glorious thing! The recent Venetian masquerade ball at the Hawthorne Hotel started off as a a crazy idea from the genius behind Creative Salem and ended as one of the most beautiful evenings I have ever had the honor of being a part of. Creative Salem links up all the best parts of this city so that the residents can revel in this gorgeous place, but also knows exactly how to share all that excitement with the rest of the world through ingenious marketing thats clever, fun, and approachable.

Creative Salem provides valuable services to our city. By connecting creatives and facilitating creative projects, CS has imbued Salem with a vibrancy and energy that is unique to our community. As a jazz vocalist, I have booked paying gigs due solely to my connection with the Creative Salem network. As the co-founder of a non-profit historical organization, CS has provided me with marketing services and helped to spread the word about our mission. In a national political climate in which the importance of the arts and the humanities is belittled or denied, Creative Salems services ensure that Salem maintains a creative economy that is absolutely essential to the health and well-being of our community.

Creative Salem beats to the pulse of the arts on the North Shore. They support and promote the creative community and small businesses, host amazing events, and should be your go-to resource to find out about amazing things happening locally.

Creative Salem is amazing! They do a fantastic job documenting all the happenings around Salem and the North Shore and always bring amazing events and opportunities.

Creative Collective has already gotten my business, The Wandering Stage, multiple jobs and too many connections to count. It would take me at least a couple of years to get to where Im at without Creative Collective.

John Andrews set me up with my very first pop up at an event. He has always been a supporter for local creatives to get out there and show what they can do. I don’t think SALEM or now the north shore, would be where they are now without the help of him and The Creative Collective.Todd BekeshaPo’boys and Pies

Amazing group of folks. I love working with them

Creative Salem is an amazing venue for promoting the local creative arts scene. John works tirelessly at this unending and sometimes thankless task. Without his efforts, the creative arts scene would not be nearly so prolific.

A organization that builds community through the arts. Completely amazing!

Professional, passionate problem solvers with a strong sense of community and social involvement. Also, they are just cool peeps.

Creative Collective is the glue that binds the city of Salem, its artists and its business community together. I cant say enough good things about them!

Creative Collective has been an essential asset for business growth, support, and networking.
