Tune in to hear all the tips and tricks that help me every January and February and some you can just do all year round.

How to beat the January blues with Emily Canino founder of Doodlemoo

In this episode I chat to Emma Bestley co-founder of Yes Colours, a new paint company revolutionising the paint industry with their sustainable packaging and beautiful array of colours. We talk about how from a conversation, came an idea about changing paint tins to a more sustainable solution, bringing this creative idea to life and how Emma's rare condition Grapheme Colour Synesthesia has lead to a creative colourful life. We chat about growing the business, working with a partner, finding some life work balance, Instagram, Tiktok and more. It's a fun episode full of great insights and Emma is just such a positive great person to chat to. I have used Yes Colours for a few projects and I'm in love with the intensity of the colours and also the ethos behind this small but mighty brand. 

Emma is Co-Founder and Creative Director at YesColours, a paint brand she started alongside John Stubbs during the pandemic. Affordability, community and the ‘democratisation of colour’ are at the brand’s heart, which aims to enable people to be confident in the colour choices they make. Committed to sustainability, YesColours’ innovative eco-friendly paints are packaged in fully recyclable pouches to cut consumer waste and reduce the number of paint tins going to landfill.  Emma has previously worked in museums, fashion buying and events within the media industry.

As always thanks for listening and would love it if you leave us a comment, a review and let us know what you think!

In this episode I talk to Katheline Vandal founder of kids brand Vandal Kids. She's on a mission to bring fun, functional and sustainable fashion for kids with creativity at the heart of the brand. We have a great conversation about what it takes to grow a new brand and get your name out there, the importance of PR and surrounding yourself with people that can help and support you. We also talk about sustainability and misconceptions around the subject. I love that like me Kat is very focused on creativity and to bring this to life through her brand encouraging kids to be free and not worried about getting dirty or destroying their clothes as these are made to last and to get stains out easily.

In this episode with Therese Oertenblad founder of Small Business Collaborative, we talk all about Wholesale for your small business. We cover loads of interesting subjects including: how to start your wholesale journey, how to price for wholesale, wholesale platforms, trade shows and sales in general. I love how Therese says “We have to think: what am I doing everyday to make a sale? be it wholesale or direct to consumer” and how we must change our mindset towards selling. It can often feel like we are trying to force people to buy from us but actually a better mindset is that we are helping someone find what they need or want. We also talk Instagram and Tik Tok. This is a great episode which, as always I hope you find helpful for you and your biz. Therese is really positive and very knowledgeable when it comes to wholesale.

As ever let me know your thoughts and leave a review. I’m always open to suggestions for subjects to talk about and interesting people to interview and of course send me any questions you have.

In this episode I chat to Pippa Goulden founder of the PR Set - a membership for small businesses wanting to do their own PR. We talk all about demystifying what PR is and explaining all the different ways you can do your own PR. This is so important in the early days of any creative business as it helps with credibility and visibility. I loved my chat, Pippa, here, makes it really easy to understand what PR actually entails and she gives a lot of tips and tricks on how to do it effectively, how to get started and how thinking about your customers and where they are is key. We also chat about mindset, which is an important part of getting your name out there and be featured in your dream publication, blog, influencer page or tv space.   We hope you love this episode and that you start getting excited about doing your own PR or maybe be a bit more knowledgeable if you are looking to outsource this part of your business.

Hi my name is Emily and welcome to the Doodlemoo show! This is my podcast for creative entrepreneurs and anyone with a creative idea they want to make happen. I wanted to explore creativity and business, through the stories of some awesome people and brands I’ve met and love. When I set up my lifestyle brand Doodlemoo a few years ago I had no idea about what it takes to build a successful business. In fact I didn’t even believe I could make a living doing what I loved. I’ve learned so much and met some amazing small creative business owners who decided to go for their idea to turn it into a living. I’ll be inviting some inspiring people who have used their creativity to lead the lives they wanted, through their passion, perseverance and determination. We’ll be sharing the real bits no one talks about, how they keep going when times are hard, the joys and achievements and everything in between. We will be launching mid February 2022, please subscribe so you don’t miss an episode, and don’t forget to join me on instagram @doodle_moo
