What some of our community say about Creative Boom

“If I’m ever in need of some artistic inspiration, I always turn to Creative Boom. Their creative excellence always brings a smile to my face. After a long hard day of searching for my dream job only to be greeted with more rejections, I go to Creative Boom for a motivational ‘cuddle’. I credit them for influencing my website and will give them a hearty salute when I finally catch my dream job.”
Amy Wordsworth

“Creative Boom has helped me enormously, boosting my web hits through their tweets and free directory. Much more than this though, I love the helpful articles and tips. Being a freelancer can be a lonely and hard business, so it’s great having their support! Keep up the great work!”
Kevin Lloyd Design

“Creative Boom has been a source of inspiration for me since its inception. Not only do they share helpful advice through their articles and raise the profiles of creatives in their interviews, they provide valuable support and resources for many freelancers, micro-businesses and collaborators. Keep up the good work!”
Sarah Jane Robertson

“Creative Boom is an amazingly valuable resource for independent creative companies run by the extraordinary Katy Cowan. She and hubby Tom have worked tirelessly to provide a platform for creatives to learn, share, showcase and promote, as well as an immense catalogue of features, how-to’s and tips which benefit the extremely loyal community, and an excellent jobs board. It’s awe-inspiring not only in content, but in terms of the dedication and love of people running it.”
Loma Morant, Freelance Graphic Designer

"Creative Boom did a great feature on my work earlier in the year! And as a result I got a few more followers and sold some prints on my shop. So thanks guys! Keep up the good work!!"
