1:1 Mentoring for Creative Professionals
Build the creative business you actually want.
Long-term 1:1 mentoring for experienced creatives who want to rethink, strengthen and intentionally shape the business around their work.
From €2,000 · 6–12 sessions
Some changes take more than one conversation.
You may already know that something in your creative business needs to change.
Perhaps you've outgrown how you position yourself. You want to work with different clients or take on more ambitious projects. Your pricing and services no longer reflect the level you've reached. Or you've simply reached a point where you don't want your business to keep evolving by accident.
That's where long-term mentoring comes in.
Over several months, we work on the business around your creative practice - from the bigger questions of positioning, direction and what you want to build, to the practical decisions that come up along the way.
We don't just identify what could change. We work through those changes together.
“The constant availability and support outside our sessions was priceless. Having WhatsApp access meant we could ask questions at any time - about pricing, client communication, or decisions - and get fast, helpful feedback.”
— Former Mentee DuoHow it works
Duration & Frequency
Choose from 6, 9 or 12 sessions, usually spread across several months. Each session lasts up to 90 minutes, with the rhythm adapted to what we're working on and what is happening in your business.
Structure
We start by understanding where your business stands today, where you want it to go and what deserves our attention. From there, the mentoring develops around your priorities - working through both bigger strategic changes and the decisions that arise as you implement them.
Format
Sessions take place remotely via video call for maximum convenience and accessibility. In-person meetings are possible when schedules and locations align.
Additional Support
Direct access to Charlotte via WhatsApp for questions, feedback and decisions that come up between sessions.

About your mentor
Charlotte Specht has spent more than a decade building businesses in and around the creative industries - working with independent creatives while also delivering projects for global brands and organisations.
As a founder of Basa Studio, Marvel&Juicy, and Book a Street Artist, she has seen the creative business from both sides: what clients are looking for, how creative work is bought and commissioned, and why talented creatives can still struggle to turn strong work into the business they actually want.
Charlotte is particularly good at seeing the bigger picture quickly - spotting patterns, opportunities and inconsistencies that are difficult to see when you're inside your own business.
Her mentoring isn't based on a fixed formula for how a creative business should look. The goal is to understand what you want to build, what may be holding you back and what needs to change to get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sessions are scheduled based on the package you choose - typically every 4–6 weeks. This gives you time to implement strategies, test decisions, and bring real-life questions back to each session.
-
Both! Mentoring combines long-term strategy with practical support for everyday challenges - pricing, client communication, proposals, negotiations, and workflow management.
Charlotte brings over a decade of experience connecting creatives with clients and building sustainable creative businesses, so you’ll get guidance grounded in real-world practice, not generic business theory.
-
Not at all. You can remain completely independent, build a flexible team around you or eventually grow into a larger studio. The goal isn't to follow a particular model - it's to build a creative business that works for you, your ambitions and the kind of work you want to do.
-
You’ll have lightweight follow-up support, typically via WhatsApp or email, to clarify decisions, review proposals or pricing, and troubleshoot client situations. This ensures momentum continues even between sessions.
