LBB Offers Free Pro User Membership to All Recently ex-Mill Employees

With The Mill sadly closing its doors, there is an incredible amount of talent now looking for new roles in the creative world. We would love to help that talent find new roles and build a presence in front of our large global user group. So we want to offer all ex-Mill employees a free Pro User membership with LBB, where they have the additional ability to upload and reorder their best work and share it with the creative community in place of a personal website or multiple other directory listings.

The price is usually £99.99 per person, but we are waiving that cost to hopefully help people find new roles.

"As a person who very much grew up at The Mill and had 10 incredible years there in its earlier days, I know the amount of talent there is at the company, and have an inkling as to how many of those people will feel this morning. It’s a desperately sad situation, and if LBB can help and support in any way, we will", says Matt Cooper, founder and CEO of Little Black Book.

"These profiles take the need from talent all over the world to be building websites they have to upkeep -- and then getting them seen", he adds. "LBB's credit system will automatically update your profile, and you can upload all your favourite historical work, too. Plus, the huge benefit is that we have people looking to find talent to work with.’’

Anyone wanting to claim Pro User status can firstly log in and verify their profile. It’s a 10-second job, and then a user can contact Hannah who will organise a free upgrade for you.

"All you need to do is create a free LBB login, then search your name in our People section to find yourself," comments Hannah Baines, LBB's head of department, creative talent. "Once you've located your own, simply click 'Claim This Profile' at the top to send it to us for approval. You can see how easy this is to do in this short video guide."

Hannah adds: "Once approved, just drop me an email at hannahb@lbbonline.com letting me know that you were part of The Mill. I will then apply free Pro User membership to your profile, so you will be able to upload all your historical work -- plus anything more recent -- for new companies to discover."
