Welcome to the Peach Network

The Peach Network is a creative development network created by Sweet As A Peach Creative Agency.

Our mission is to help creatives move from learning to earning through mentorship, education, portfolio development, community involvement, and project opportunities.

Many creatives graduate with talent but struggle to find direction, gain experience, build strong portfolios, or connect with opportunities.

At the same time, businesses often struggle to find qualified creative professionals who are both skilled and professional.

The Peach Network was created to bridge that gap.

Before applying, please read the information below carefully.

Projects are not assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

The goal is to match the right creative to the right opportunity.

Members who repeatedly fail to communicate, maintain availability, or respond to opportunities may be placed on inactive status or removed from the network.

All members must provide their own equipment, software, internet access, and tools required to complete work within their area of specialization.

 The Peach Network does not currently provide equipment.

Applicants selected to move forward will be invited to schedule a Zoom interview.

The interview helps us:

• Learn more about you

• Understand your goals

• Review your portfolio

• Determine placement

• Match you with future opportunities

Ask yourself:

 ✓ Am I willing to continue learning?

 ✓ Am I willing to communicate professionally?

 ✓ Am I willing to receive feedback?

 ✓ Am I willing to grow?

 ✓ Am I willing to contribute to a creative community?

 If your answer is yes, we encourage you to apply.
