From Freebies to Fees: Getting Confident with Brand Partnerships
Advertisement
Learn how to pitch & what to charge - move from unpaid, gifted work to partnerships that genuinely pay.
About this Event

So many of us start out saying yes to gifted collaborations and quietly wondering when, or how, it turns into actual income. This session is about closing that gap.


Join Shakila, founder of The Mère Collective & Mère + Me, for an honest, practical conversation about brand partnerships. Before starting her business, Shakila spent years in sales and partnerships at a publishing house behind magazines like BBC Good Food, Radio Times and Gardeners' World, so she knows how these deals really get made, from both sides of the table.


Together we'll look at how to find the right brands, build a simple pipeline, and ask with confidence, including how to move from unpaid, gifted work to partnerships that genuinely pay. You'll leave knowing how to pitch, what to charge, and how to build the kind of relationships that grow with you.


Come as you are, bring your questions, and let's get comfortable asking for what we're worth.

WHAT IS MUMS WHO BUILD?

Mums Who Build is a professional network for ambitious mums who want to build a career, business and income that actually works with motherhood.

Our mission is to reduce the motherhood penalty and close the wealth gap by giving mums the systems, tools and environment they need to get seen and get paid — so they can build a financially secure future on their terms.

There’s never enough time in the day.
You’re being pulled in every direction.
And building a career or business alongside motherhood can feel impossible.

You’re not the problem — the system is.

That’s why we built MOB Sprint — a 28-day accountability programme designed to help you get visible, take action and build real momentum.
