How Blackpool Growth Business Academy helped launch Cooper Creative

Blackpool Growth Business Academy has helped commercial photographer Rob Cooper turn his passion into a successful business with the launch of Cooper Creative.

Rob, a long-time hobby photographer, turned to the academy for guidance in exploring its potential as a full-time career. Through a fully funded and tailored programme of expert guidance, workshops, and one-to-one mentoring, he gained the knowledge and confidence to take his business to the next level.

Rob worked with the academy’s scaling specialists who provided him with the tools to develop a clear business plan. Support included marketing advice, lead generation strategies, and refining his website and Google presence to improve visibility and attract clients.

Rob specialises in business to business (B2B) commercial photography including portrait profiles and product shots especially in the food and fitness sectors. Working with the academy he saw an opportunity to expand his business and has since introduced videography as part of his services.

As Cooper Creative approaches its first full year, Rob credits the academy’s support for his business growth. Through discussions on growth strategies with the academy’s scaling specialists he was able to identify areas for development including adding new services, gaining more from existing customers, acquiring new customers and identifying new markets.

He has been able to offer clients a wider range of content solutions, from social media snippets to longer-form video content, making his business more versatile and competitive in the market.

Blackpool Growth Business Academy provides fully funded business support to help Blackpool leaders scale their business.
