Create South East Announce New Stage 2 Cohort

Congratulations to our story teller Indigo Productions on being included in the latest cohort of Create South East, along with many other Kent based creative businesses. Indigo Productions is an award-winning multimedia production agency based in Ashford.

Create South East is a Create Growth Programme, funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and delivered in Kent, Essex and Sussex. It’s designed to support creative businesses and aims to help build confidence as a founder to make decisions on investment, IP, business structures and growth plans.

The programme offers company founders the chance to gain expert insight through workshops and coaching / mentoring. There are two support offers; Stage 1 for businesses looking to establish solid foundations for future growth, Stage 2 for more mature companies seeking to refine their growth strategy and explore different routes to investment.

The first iteration of the programme, which ran from February 2023-March 2025, saw 113 creative businesses benefit from one-to-one mentor support, access to tailored workshops and critical introductions to investors through pitch events.
