Introducing a two-day, virtual, hands-on training event via Zoom for creative and marketing leaders seeking practical tools for managing their teams, cultivating trust with stakeholders and turning day-to-day challenges into better ways of working.

Why Cella’s Creative Manager Bootcamp?

Turn your creative expertise into culture-defining leadership in just two days at Cella’s Creative Manager Bootcamp on November 5 & 19. Our two-day, live interactive workshop is designed around your team’s culture, people and challenges, not hypotheticals. From a pre-event intake and feedback opportunity about the day-to-day complexities you face, to unlocking real-world solutions in real time, this bootcamp is custom-designed for the leader who is ready to elevate their leadership capability and expand their influence outside their team.

What You'll Walk Away With

• A working culture framework you can name, defend and actually use, not a poster on the wall
• An org blueprint and team structure built around how your team really works
• A career path and development plan to support and invest in your team
• A relationship strategy tailored for key team leaders
• An intake, prioritization and resourcing approach that gets the team out of order-taking mode
• A clear way to show your team’s value to leadership, plus the tools for training 

Who Should Attend

Curated for creative directors, creative ops leads, marketing managers, and project management leads managing in-house teams, this virtual training via Zoom is ideal for individual managers who want to reinvent their management playbook or a cohort of leaders seeking to elevate their impact and work together cohesively.
