Commercialisation and Revenue Operations


Transforming creative ideas into marketable products or services involves a great deal of innovation and organisation. For Creative Social Enterprises, effective commercialisation strategies ensure sustainable income streams while maintaining artistic integrity and social impact. This balance is crucial for long-term viability and mission fulfillment, and Irene can help you plan, execute and iterate your commercialisation process for maximum returns. 

Start Up pathways for Social Innovation Vehicles

Commercialisation pathways for social innovation involves transforming research, ideas, or creative outputs from HASS disciplines into commercially viable products, services and ventures.
HASS commercialisation differs from traditional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, so we have a bespoke road map that is a process tailored to the unique characteristics of humanities, arts, and social sciences, while working alongside Universities to scale and catalyse impact. 

The Creative Industries Research & Development

Creative Industries encompass a diverse range of sectors, including arts, media, design, fashion, music, film, and digital technology. Overall, R&D in Australia's Creative Industries is dynamic, diverse, and interdisciplinary. It drives cultural innovation, economic growth, and social impact while positioning Australia as a global hub for creativity and innovation in the arts and digital media sectors. R&D activities fuel the development of new business models, products, and services that disrupt traditional creative sectors. Irene provides a concierge service to help businesses, arts organisations, Founders and the research community to meet each other and build long-term and enduring relationships of mutual benefit. 

Business Development

Identifying and pursuing growth opportunities for Creative Social Enterprises is a multi-faceted sales and relationship building exercise. Robust business development strategies help Founders expand their reach, diversify income sources, and scale their social impact. This approach ensures both financial sustainability and increased societal contribution. Irene helps Founders and teams tackle the challenges of business development in an organised and logical way. 

Philanthropy & Fundraising

Have you a plan for cultivating relationships with donors and securing financial support for your mission-driven enterprise?  Strategic philanthropy and fundraising efforts not only provide essential funding but also build a community of supporters who believe in your artistic vision and social mission. Irene can help you set the foundations for this important approach, and coach you through the process so you can confidently grow your skills. 

Research Backed Ventures


A HASS (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences) venture refers to a business or entrepreneurial initiative that operates within the domains of humanities, arts, or social sciences disciplines. Typically, Academics from these disciplines require experienced Research Commercialisation experts to navigate their university tech transfer process and guide HASS ventures through the many barriers. Typically, leveraging knowledge, skills, and insights from these disciplines to develop innovative products, services, or solutions that address societal challenges, enrich cultural experiences, or advance understanding of human behavior and society involves building influence with stakeholders in order to get the research out of the university, and Irene can mentor, coach and support you.
