The Freshly Collective

A global network of creators, thinkers, and doers who believe in the power of story.

What is The Freshly Collective?

A global network of 250+ (and growing) creators, thinkers, and doers who believe in the power of story. The Freshly Collective has been around since 2013, born out of the community spirit of Freshly Ground Sounds, which later evolved into Freshly Ground Stories (head to Our Stories page for a deep dive into our origin story). For over a decade, we’ve built a trusted network of storytellers, founders, organisations, musicians, writers, lawyers, industry experts, producers, strategists, board members, futurists and advisors.

This isn’t a new venture - we’re continuing to grow what’s already been established.

For Clients

Are you working with Freshly Ground Stories on a project?


All current clients get access to The Freshly Collective - it’s one of the perks. If you’re not a client of Freshly Ground Stories, you may still get access to The Freshly Collective, depending on your needs. Whether you're looking for a full creative team or a single expert - on the creative or business side - we can help you find the right person or crew from our network.

For Creators, Experts, and Collaborators

Want to join The Freshly Collective? We’re always growing.

  • You’ll join a trusted network we turn to when projects need your particular skillset. You’re free to say yes or no to any opportunity. No pressure, no obligation.

  • We don’t take a cut of your earnings. You get paid directly by Freshly Ground Stories for any work you do. We handle billing, project management, client negotiations, and admin - so you can focus on what you do best.

  • That’s your relationship to build. We don’t gatekeep. If a connection comes through us and leads to something else, that’s yours to explore. Our model is built on trust, transparency, and collaboration - and it’s worked for over a decade.

    • You’ll be part of a global network of collaborators, experts, and creatives.

    • We’ll share your wins - whether they’re with us or not.

    • You’ll get updates, opportunities, and invitations to collaborate.

Whether you're a creator, consultant, expert, organisation or emerging voice - we’d love to have you in the mix.
