It's time for episode seven in series seven of the Small Business Sessions, Enterprise Nation's podcast powered by the business.connected online training programme and our partners Vodafone Business, Constant Contact, JP Morgan and Dropbox.
Joining freelance journalist Dan Martin for the seventh episode is mixed media visual artist and Enterprise Nation member Christian Azolan.
After a work contract ended due to the coronavirus pandemic, he began creating digital illustrations. That hobby soon turned into a business as Christian used the downtime during lockdown to create a brand for selling his limited edition artwork online.
Since then, Christian has had several successful exhibitions, and achieved a significant amount of press coverage for his work.
In the episode, Dan and Christian discuss:
how artists can commercialise their work
his brilliant advice for how small business owners can make media headlines
the importance of knowing your numbers
how he is bringing artists together via a social enterprise collective
the business boosting benefits of being an Enterprise Nation member
...and lots more!
You can also listen on other platforms and Enterprise Nation.
