Creativity, Finding Balance & The Power of Community – Laura Conway
In this episode, I speak to Laura Conway – founder of Creative Blood. Over the past few months, I have had the honour of having so many inspiring conversations with Laura discussing the need for honest, meaningful creative content and how to trust our intuition and bring balance to a noisy, distracting world. As a thought leader in advertising, working with A-list talent, Laura brings her experience and a fresh perspective on how we can support well-being within the creative community.

About Laura:
A creative at heart, Laura began her career as a session drummer on European tours for a variety of established artists. This introduced her to artist management, working under music’s legendary PR Alan Edwards, at The Outside Organisation, where she worked with seminal artists such as David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz and The Spice Girls. And then back on stage again In 2010 when she landed a record deal with Island Records.
In 2013, Laura founded Creative Blood, following 11 years spent living and working between Los Angeles & London, both as an artist and producer. Her passion for creative services was established during her time in LA, where she was introduced to photo and film production and found herself working with Hollywood’s A-list including Mary J Blige, Sandra Bullock, George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino.
