I spent the morning thinking about all of the Philly businesses (my local dream clients) that I would love, love, love to write for, but sometimes it can be hard to pitch a really cool business/idea alone. Wouldn’t it be great if we could find others with similar client interests or at least similar hobbies and passions in our creative community? Imagine if you wanted to pitch a tea company, and you had a list with the names and emails of a web designer, writer, developer that loved tea? Just think of the passionate work that would flow from that team.
So here is my idea: writers, developers, designers, project managers, programmers, etc interested in “my local dream client” would send me a list of his or her local dream clients, whether it’s the Philadelphia Museum of Art or the bakery down the street. I would then match up any exact clients or similar interests and send the list out to everyone. Sure, it’s not a groundbreaking idea, but just another way to connect the Philly creative community and support our local businesses.
So until my local dream clients start calling me up, I’m going to take some steps to get closer to them. Some call it stalking, but I call it creative perseverance.
If you’re interested, just send your local dream clients my way.

Why limit your dream to Philly? If you could work on anyone’s business, what would it be?
Thanks for the comment. I would never want to limit any dream to one city, but I thought I would start with one city and an awesome group of people and see where it goes.
My priorities are to connect this creative community and support local businesses in my favorite city, Philadelphia. If “my local dream clients” gets a great response, I’d love to expand it to anywhere in the world. here’s to hoping that happens!
Some ideas of the top of my head:
The Mütter Museum
Morimoto
The Khyber
The Trocadero
Eastern State Penitentiary
The Roots
North Star Bar
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (kind of a stretch but whatever)
Yards Brewing Company
R5 Productions
