ILN is for people working in the creative industries who are tired of low pay, hidden opportunities and going it alone.
You might be freelance, working full time, or figuring out your next step—but you know you want more clarity, confidence and money from your creative career.
We get it. That’s why I LIKE NETWORKING exists.
Led by award-winning entrepreneur Isabel Sachs, ILN is a career companion packed with everything you need to grow in the creative industries—without the guesswork. We’re here to make creative career paths clearer, fairer and more connected by combining honest guidance, real networks and practical opportunities.

Occasional open posts on creative cities, mentoring and more
✨ What You Get (paid)

The Snack: twice-monthly hit list of time-sensitive opportunities and handpicked for creative folks, so you don’t spend hours searching
The Roundup: Hundreds of curated jobs, briefs, events and opportunities, so you can access opportunities you may not find anywhere else. We aim to ensure that most opportunities include disclosed salaries—no more guessing games.

🧭 Who It’s For
Primarily for women, non-binary people, and anyone who feels underrepresented in the creative industries: whether you’re already working in it or dreaming of breaking in
UK-based focus: Most of what we share is UK-based, though we do include some international opportunities
Career changers, freelancers, early-career professionals & founders: wherever you are in your journey
Anyone tired of not knowing where to start, where to go next, or who to ask—and fed up with opaque career paths and gatekeeping
💰 Why It’s Worth It
If ILN helps you land just one decent project or negotiate a small raise, it pays for itself.
Our paid members apply faster, raise their rates, and spend less time doomscrolling job boards.
And, of course, have a better time doing all of this because we feel less alone.
