About We Are CAN
We Are CAN is a creative studio operating by virtue of a collaborative network. The team is made
up of a collective of creatively focused, young entrepreneurs, who work in the four disciplines of
the network: Arts & Design, Multimedia, Performance and Web & Digital. We promote, and
facilitate new collaborations between creative professionals and businesses. We Are CAN.
We identified a lack of communication as the obstacle preventing creative individuals from doing
what they love. We Are CAN is the positive reaction to this realisation. We seek to manufacture
opportunity by establishing a network that will create it. For this reason, we provide an
inspirational space for creative seeds to be born, drawing on co-operative, powerful and unique
individuals.
At the heart of We Are Can lies a collaborative ethos that is best explained through the story of
The Four Harmonious Friends . This story of interdependence, cooperation and harmony is the
foundation of the CAN identity. As Damiano Marchetti and Marilyn Rose, founders of the
company put it, “We Are CAN hopes to provide the vehicle and energy for that collective belief in
a new world of opportunity, and for channelling it into focused, productive action on an
international scale by means of creative collaboration.”
This is our positive reaction to the arts and the university funding cuts; and the ever-growing voice
of the new, digital generation who believes collaboration is the key to opportunity. We Are CAN
operate primarily as an incubator; as such we provide the secure inspirational space for projects
to be born and occasionally we invest seed capital, to help our members see their projects
develop into functioning business. We create opportunities for aspiring professionals to work on
real briefs for real clients, which would unlikely be attainable to them alone.
Our mission is to excite creative professionals about the prospects of choosing collaboration as a
mode of pursuit of professional development.
We Are CAN is not only a team, CAN is a fully-qualified creative army.
