KEY TAKEAWAYS
Nurturing collaborative relationships with clients, artists, and suppliers is crucial for mutual benefit and success in the creative industry.
Embracing constraints, adaptability, and contingency planning are essential for sustainable progress and overcoming challenges.
Utilising technology and modern tools can amplify creativity and push artistic boundaries, but being an early adopter comes with risks.
Understanding clients' needs, delivering consistently, and being transparent is key to building trust and long-lasting relationships.
Passion, enjoyment, and alignment with market demands are vital for a successful creative business.
Quality relationships and quality work are the foundation of long-term success in the creative industry.
Steady, organic growth within your limits as an artist is more sustainable than rapid, unhinged expansion.
Supporting and contributing to the arts can lead to reciprocal benefits and personal fulfilment.
BEST MOMENTS
"I think with the artists, once you gain their trust and they know that you're kind of straight, it's great fun, you know, it's difficult. It's a lot of head scratching going on, but you kind of working out problems together."
"A bit of a cliche, but kind of follow your passion, you know, enjoy it. I think and if that's aligned with what the market wants, then you're onto something, you know?"
"Omni's always been just a steady growth, you know, not kind of overnight sensations, you know? So you can always work within your limits."
"It's weird how horse racing sort of took me into it in a way. You know, it was reading about it in the racing post. Sort of led to this point, you know, very odd”
