Pub Note: That is the latest development in Ted Leonhardt’s initiative to form a creative co-op, which he has been discussing in previous posts.
By Ted Leonhardt
Our official name is Overture Creative Cooperative. Our url is Overture.coop.
We view ourselves as “shooting for the stars:” Creating a democratic organization owned by creatives, dedicated to helping creatives achieve sustainable income by providing creative services to clients who are helping people have better lives and the planet have a sustainable future.
We’ve selected two new-business categories, and are planning the messaging and marketing effort to secure a sustainable source of fee income for the services we provide. We’re hoping to be up and running in mid-June.
We’re also in the process of writing our bylaws, drafting a budget and seeking a CFO. We need a finance and business-management expert who wants to be part of a creative co-op and has an understanding of the creative services world. Please send me a note if you’re interested or know of anyone who could be to ted@overture.coop.
