The Digital Culture Network provides practical, on the ground help to the arts and culture sector. Our focus is around digital skills and leadership development. We can help you:
We support you in different ways:
UK Students (‘Taskers’ on the platform) can be booked for as a little as one hour to work on the stuff you don’t have time for, and businesses only pay when the work is done. For founders, we give them access to extra resource at the times they need it most, without needing to commit to a full-time hire. For students, we give them a way to earn money and build their experience.

No matter how insightful or exciting the vision for your enterprise may be, it is only ever the getting there which determines your success.
Yet all too often, seemingly solid business plans falter at the first hurdle. Whether due to lack of time or money or just the space to think, important steps go untaken. At futuremap, we have created a unique and comprehensive multi-mapping approach that supports start-ups and SMEs of all sectors and sizes and helps them plan effectively for success.
Whether you need to kick off an enterprise, overcome a challenge, or rise to an opportunity, futuremap helps you to identify the required actions and avoid the pitfalls. As no two journeys are ever the same, we adapt to whatever your vision may be.
It all begins with a free business review and recommendation identifying your route to success. What you do after that is entirely up to you.
Contact us now and futuremap your way, because good ideas need great plans.
