Create a Profile

Creating a profile on our directory will make it easier to reach your target audience, promote your work and connect with other creatives and professionals.

Southampton Forward launched this platform in February 2024 to increase access to local creatives. Here you are able to list your services, skills and talent in one place and share it with a wide audience.

It won’t be perfect straight away but we are committed to developing the directory to make it a powerful resource for the creative industries in Southampton
