They are there to offer help and advice to those who have been working in the sector some time or just starting out....

Liverpool's creative developement agency ACME are launching the brand new network in September. OK it has the same name as the old Liverpool network but we are promised something brand new and a bit more function than the old site, as it has been built from the ground up by Design Agency Splinter. I should know I helped with the user testing, so I hope they took my advice.
Yes, ACME has been busy reinventing this unique site that promotes Liverpool's creative community, and it will soon be ready for creatives to update their profile and portfolio, and re-connect with others and with your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn accounts.
A look at how you can use digital tools to raise your profile, engage your audience and drive your business.
We created this training package especially for a workshop at the Unity Theatre but is easily adapted to suit
· Small producing Theatre companies
· Dance companies
· Solo performers
· Small arts organisatons
