Q. I'm a local creative, why should I join BCC?
A. BCC is here to promote the commercial arts, graphic arts, fine arts and performing arts. We're dedicated to promoting local creative services with the aim of winning more business for all. All members benefit from our online listings plus newsletters and events. Membership is also a chance to find support from like-minded local organisations, source sponsorship and build joint ventures. Working together can be fun, and it helps provide a more flexible service to clients. Also, as a community, we have a more powerful voice, for example, when applying for funding.

Q. But aren't members in competition with each other?
A. All creatives have their own unique style, and no organisation provides exactly the same services as any other. Although there may be some overlap, we find that members who collaborate with each other can offer a better, wider offering to clients.

Q. What do you do to promote members?
A. Premium members get a full profile including links to your own website to help your search engine ranking, and testimonials to help prospective clients assess your services. You can use the BCC logo on your corporate stationery to enhance your credibility. Premium membership gives you exclusive access to the member area of the site, including our Google-free forum. We also give Premium members the opportunity to showcase their work in our online Gallery and promote themselves at our events. All members can contribute to our library of Articles, to demonstrate their expertise and enhance their online presence.

Q. How do I get on the LBB preferred supplier list?
A. LBB can't show a preference towards any individual business but are happy to refer people to the BCC as a source of local creative talent. If you take a Premium membership, complete your profile page, and play an active part within the community, you have more chance of being noticed by potential clients. Find out about opportunities to work for the Council.

Q. What's the BCC background?
