origin story
Established in 2021 by a cohort of creative partners, The New Monday is a community that brings together individuals and organisations from TV, film and the wider creative industries to connect, collaborate, and grow.
HOW IT STARTED
We found our partners at the Channel 4 grand opening in Leeds. We kept having the same conversation: creatives lamenting that there was no regular community group for creatives working in production for tv and film and related industries. Why didn’t we have a monthly meet-up where we could build our networks, share challenges and opportunities, and supercharge our careers?
So we started one.
We hosted our first coffee networking morning in Leeds where all great creative initiatives start: in a pub. (Ok, so it wasn’t quite the cafe culture of 18th Century Paris, but a win’s a win).
HOW IT'S GOING
It worked. Fast forward to today and we’ve hosted over 33 events for 1200k+ attendees, have 100 members in our online directory, and we’re continuing to grow.
