Creative Business Mentor Network Review

This report is part of an evaluation of two NESTA mentoring programmes - Creative Business Mentor Pilot and Raise the Game.

These two pilot programmes were developed by NESTA to match growth companies within the creative industries sub-sectors (TV production, advertising, digital media and games) with senior executives from these sub-sectors in mentoring relationships. The two pilots aim to generate benefit for participating businesses through an intensive and directed relationship with mentors who have intimate knowledge of their sectors and track records in building successful creative businesses.

This report looks at the body of literature relating to mentoring and a number of comparative mentoring programmes in order to draw conclusions on the suitability of mentoring for creative entrepreneurs and in order to provide guidance towards a methodology of best practice in mentoring.
