Influence Lansing (cohort #3)

Ourspace Creative piloted InfluenceLansing in 2024, developing a 16-week creator and entrepreneur accelerator focused on personal branding, content strategy, brand partnerships, and business development. Each cohort is intentionally limited to 8 participants, with 150+ applications received across three years and 23 participants completing the program.

Participants leave with practical tools including media kits, portfolios, pitch systems, content strategies, brand contact lists, business infrastructure, professional content, and one-on-one coaching. Early participant surveys reported measurable audience growth, new paid partnerships, and thousands of dollars in new revenue, while graduates from the first two cohorts are estimated to have generated $20,000+ in brand deals and business revenue after participating. The program has also helped participants secure local and national partnerships, paid creative opportunities, consulting work, and ongoing client relationships.
