We are delighted to have had our very own startup story featured on popular website Starter Story, who interview successful entrepreneurs and share the stories behind their business. In each interview, they ask the people behind the business how they got started, how they grew their startup, and how they run their business today.
The idea is that these startup stories are inspiring and also provide specific advice and insight into starting a business and that by sharing these stories, they will help others get started.
It’s a long piece so grab a cuppa, settle in and read all about how our founder Yvette Adams started our business in 2007 from the study nook of her home on the Sunshine Coast, to being a $2.4M/Year Marketing Agency today.

The Intro
Hi there! I’m Yvette Adams, Founder, and Co-owner of The Creative Collective – a full-service marketing agency that specializes in digital marketing.
I launched The Creative Collective in 2007, and today we operate from Maroochydore, Queensland, and Newcastle NSW, where my business partner and Co-Owner of The Creative Collective Katrina Lees leads some of the team.
From web development and branding to social media services, SEO and PR, our specialized team caters to a variety of clients and their individual needs.
We currently have around 100 active clients with whom we are either doing project work or retainer work and respond on average to 160 inquiries each month. In the last year, our team has doubled, and month-on-month compared to last year, as has our revenue.
