Alison Grade, Mission Accomplished CEO has been officially recognised as a Creative Talent Champion at the We Are Creative Awards.  🎉 

But let’s be clear—this isn’t just about Alison (though we won’t deny, it’s amazing). This is a massive win for freelancers everywhere, especially for those carving out their creative careers in the West Midlands. 

It’s also a testament to the powerhouse team at Mission Accomplished—a dedicated crew of trainers, mentors, coordinators, project managers, and industry professionals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to equip creatives with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive in the creative industries. 

Alison says “When I wrote The Freelance Bible, my mission was clear, help creatives make freelancing work for them. I wanted to demystify freelancing, make it accessible, and, most importantly, show people how to turn their skills into a sustainable freelance career.” 

As a Birmingham-based training provider, Mission Accomplished is committed to empowering freelancers and creatives across the West Midlands. Through industry-led training, mentorship, and support, we help creatives sharpen their skills, expand their networks, and take charge of their careers in film, TV, and the wider creative industries. 

None of this happens in isolation. We’re proud to have collaborated with Create Central, BFI (British Film Institute), The West Midlands Combined Authority, ScreenSkills, and BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy, delivering high-impact training and real opportunities that help freelancers break into and thrive in the industry.
