Diversity social enterprise Creative Access is tapping into the thriving creative community in Greater Manchester and partnering with ITV Academy to host its next creative industries showcase event in person at ITV Studios in Salford.
On October 12, attendees can hear from professionals living and working in the Greater Manchester area spanning TV, marketing, social & creative communications and publishing. The panellists will share insight into their career journeys and advice on how to find your own creative industry pathway and move up the career ladder.
After the panel discussion there’ll be a chance for individuals to network with likeminded peers, as well as the speakers themselves, and potentially even get a sneak peak of the Coronation Street set.
Key speakers and guests at the event will include Malyun Mohamud, marketing officer at University of Salford; Tom Ross, senior account manager at Citypress; Abdul Tahir, support engineer at ITV Coronation Street; Tierney Witty, non-fiction editor at Seven Dials and Trapeze, and Yasmin Hemmings, head of programmes at Creative Access.
ITV is the UK’s biggest commercial TV network, making programmes in a full range of genres, for audiences across the UK. It spends more outside London than any other commercial broadcaster and claims deep roots in all the nations and regions of the UK.

We’re delighted to be holding this special event, generously hosted at ITV by the ITV Academy, to showcase the brilliant creative career opportunities available to those starting out in their careers in Manchester and the North West.”
