Membership application

Right then. Let's get you in.

The Cartel is a digital-first creative network for the Mid West. Tell us who you are and what you make — if you're a fit, we'll invite you into the group and list you in the directory.

1
You tell us who you are

Fill in the form below. Two minutes, tops — no essays required.

2
We have a squiz

A real human reads it. We're checking you're a working Mid West creative, not a bot from Bunbury.

3
You get your invite

Approved? We'll email you a direct invite to the Cartel group and get you set up.

4
You land in the little black book

Your profile goes live on the directory, where brands, councils and businesses come looking.

About you

2–3 short sentences, written in third person — this is what appears on your directory profile. Example: "Jane builds brand identities for regional businesses out of her Geraldton studio. She's spent eight years in agency land and now works with founders who want their brand to pull its weight."

Areas of expertise

Tick everything you genuinely offer — these become the chips on your directory listing. Two to five is the sweet spot.

Website, Behance, Drive folder, showreel — whatever shows the work best.

One or two lines. What are you hoping to get out of the Cartel — work, mates, skills, all of the above?

We'll only use your details to review your application and build your directory listing. Questions first? Talk to us.
