Reputation is not Reality

The Creative Industry is not Inclusive

Despite its reputation, the creative industry faces both challenge and inequality. Proximity to urban areas offers opportunity; living in a rural area excludes it. Characteristics such as gender and colour become barriers to participation and fair enumeration. Early-stage creatives and professionals are regularly expected to work for free or for tshirts. This feeds discrimination, marginalization and stereotyping. EU and governmental policies and programs are supporting change. Talegate is making this change happen now

Talegate. Powered by Inclusivity and the Art of Storytelling

Talegate doesn’t have to ‘retrofit for inclusivity’ because we’ve never been anything else. Our mission has always been “Breaking through barriers caused by location, gender, or minority to make accessible and creative stories. “
Talegate is a 100% remote working enterprise. Remote working technologies and work practices are the first visible form our promise to break barriers.
We know that Inclusivity, Diversity and Decent Work makes for unique storytelling products. These are our ‘good stories, well told’. To demonstrate our social impact, we have adopted the UN Sustainability Goals.
