Hi Everyone,
This is Philippa Burgess, Partner at Creative Convergence. I am an entertainment & media professional based in Los Angeles.

How it works:
This is part online and part live interaction whether on the phone or in person (if you are in LA or I am traveling near you).
In the workshop, I invite you to send me everything and anything from scripts, manuscripts, audio, video, websites, web presence, social media, traditional media, press kits, apps, games, and more.
From there we look to clarify what you want and look at market realities and opportunities across Film, Television, Traditional Publishing, Self-Publishing, Traditional Media, New Media & Social Media.
The goal of the workshop is to provide you with concrete next steps, action plan and support system for moving powerfully in the direction of your dreams.
Private Consults:
You get approximately 1 hour of private consult each month.
We schedule up to six private 20-30 minute consults.
In this session we discuss everything from your writing, content, strategy, marketing and explore ideas to help you go further faster.
These are scheduled throughout the session typically Monday – Friday between 9AM – 5PM Pacific Time.
I am happy to schedule at least one in person meeting as schedules allow if you are in LA or I happen to be traveling in your area.

Testimonials:
“I would love to express my sincere appreciation and extend my heartfelt recommendation to Phillipa Burgess, and her company, Creative Convergence. As an entrepreneur I had the extreme pleasure of attending Philippa’s course on branding and marketing. That one class has given me the roadmap to our next 16 months and has given me extreme confidence in our vision, something that entrepreneurs sometimes can struggle with. I needed focus and direction and Philippa gave that to me, and we are following through with her suggestions and it is working beautifully. I will be attending another class in the near future to continue her mentorship, and I feel honored to be one of her protégé’s. You will not be sorry if you enroll in one of her courses, Thank you Philippa, you’re the greatest.” – Thomas F Matt , CEO/Founder GRT Fitness and Wellness – www.grtfitness.com
“If you are looking for a great and inspiring coach that has anything to do with Media – Philippa is the person you should partner with!” – Bill Walsh, Powerteam International
“Philippa Burgess, Thank you! You have helped me achieve something that I have dreamt about for sometime. Attending Bill Walsh’s seminar opened up the door. As I sat and listened to you I realized you were the avenue to get things going. Your exuberance and enthusiasum in such a professional knowledgeable way has kept me on track. Your connections in the publishing world are what it is going to take to finish this awesome project. I had no idea who to talk to, where to start, what to do next and where this could go. You recognized the potential from the start and haven’t backed off yet.” – Stan Olson, Author, Don’t Get Burned! What Do You When Your Machines Spark, Thud or Quit
“I started Philippa’s course believing that marketing was a necessary slog I had to master, but Philippa shifted my thinking. Her passion for the marketing process is so contagious that by the end of the 8 sessions I was completely jazzed. I realized for the first time how creative and fun marketing could be. Thanks to Philippa’s enthusiasm and generosity as a teacher and the pages and pages of information and resources she shared with us, I now feel well-positioned to take control of my destiny and confident that I can learn whatever I need to shape my career.” –Alexis Niki, Screenwriter, Author of 101 Screenwriting Tips and Writer/Producer of My Bitchy Witchy Paris Vacation
“Philippa is an excellent communicator and motivational speaker. She knows the business and her audience. It was an good experience, to witness her boldly deliver the goods with finesse and aplomb.” – Barbara “BJ” Beauchamp, Writer
“I wanted to share a success since our last connection….I’ve moved from CA to FL and after the story about the search for my sister in People Magazine in 2008 – I’ve been working with a production team for an original tv movie for Lifetime Movie Network. The movie is in post production now and is scheduled to air this spring! ’Bringing Ashley Home’ will air sometime in March or April! I’m quite excited as this movie also profiles the nonprofit cause of Outpost for Hope – the agency that I started in the late 90′s. I am so hopeful that by sharing my story in such a public way will help me to help others – if just one life can be saved as a result of it – then I have achieved my goal.
“I wanted to say thank you for helping me re-think of ways to brand my story - the information you provided in your class was so helpful. That knowledge combined with really good clear intentions certainly made way for profound changes in my life!” Libba Philipps, Founder of Outpost for Hope and life story into Lifetime Movie Network’s “Bringing Ashley Home”.
