The Question
“What has been the most effective way you’ve found to promote your illustration business?”
The Notes
In our interview, Brad shares insights about self promotion. We discuss his work with Skillshare, the assets and creative resources he’s created for RetroSupply, and how interacting with others in the creative community all play a role in the promotion of his studio. As you listen, you’ll hear us dig deeper into the topic to find the heart of the issue, his true secret to success.

At the endroll, we mention Creative Mornings. They have great talks in the archive that you can watch online and many cities have monthly in-person events for free. Check them out. You’ll be glad you did. https://creativemornings.com/
