You didn’t launch your creative business so you could spend your days buried in emails, chasing invoices and trying to remember what you were supposed to action last Tuesday.

But that’s the reality for a lot of creative business owners and performers in the entertainment industry. The backend quietly takes over, and before long you’re spending more time managing the business than actually running it.

Behind the Scenes is the support that changes that.

Flexible, hands-on and built entirely around the real demands of your creative life, this service takes the operational weight off your shoulders so you can get back to doing the work only you can do.

STRATEGIC SUPPORT FOR THE BUSINESS YOU ARE ALREADY RUNNING

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all package, and it isn’t a rigid retainer that locks you into tasks you don’t need. Behind the Scenes is bespoke, flexible day-to-day support designed around your specific business, your specific workload and the way you actually operate.

Think of it as having a specialist in your corner who understands both the operational side of running a business and the specific demands of the entertainment and cultural sector.

Someone who gets it, without you having to explain it.

WHAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ON

Every engagement is tailored to your needs, but the kinds of tasks we typically work on together include:

Email and Diary Management

Inbox organisation, scheduling, follow-ups and correspondence handled so nothing falls through the cracks and you’re never playing catch-up with your own calendar.

PA Services

Personal assistant support for the day-to-day tasks that quietly take up more of your time than they should, so your attention stays where it belongs.

Market Research

Insight gathering and research so you can make informed, confident decisions about your business direction without spending hours doing it yourself.

Financial Admin

Invoice tracking, expense management and financial organisation handled with care, so you always know where you stand without the stress of managing it alone.

File Management

A clear, organised system for everything in your business, so you can find what you need when you need it and stop losing time searching for things that should be at your fingertips.

And more…

Can’t see your specific need listed? Behind the Scenes also includes bespoke support for tasks unique to your business. Get in touch and let’s talk about what you need.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Behind the Scenes is designed for freelancers, performers, small businesses and entertainment agencies who are ready to stop doing

everything themselves. You might be ready for this if:

You’re spending time on tasks that don’t require your specific skills, experience or creative input.

Your inbox, calendar or filing system has become something you dread rather than something that works for you.

You know you need support, but you’re not ready for a full systems overhaul; you just need someone reliable to take things off your plate right now.

You want the freedom to focus on the work you love, knowing the operational side is being handled by someone who genuinely

understands your industry.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOUR BACKEND IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED?

administrative support, outsourcing, virtual assistant, entertainment, arts and culture, performing arts

When the operational side of your business is being handled by someone who genuinely understands your industry, everything starts to feel different.

You get more time for the creative work that only you can do, rather than spending your best energy on tasks that someone else could handle just as well. Your systems become efficient and consistent, keeping things running smoothly whether you’re in the middle of your busiest season or taking a well-earned breath between projects.

The flexibility is built in from the start: you only ever pay for the support you actually need, when you need it, with no rigid contracts or unnecessary overhead.

And perhaps most importantly, you have a specialist in your corner who understands the entertainment sector, the unpredictability of creative work and the specific demands that come with building a business in this industry.

Not someone you have to explain yourself to, someone who

already gets it!
