How opportunities work
Open doors.
Keep the relationship.
Full members see every available opportunity and decide which ones fit. You'll submit yourself alongside other CC'ers (typically around 15 people per opportunity - a fraction of the competition you face in the open market). If a client chooses you, the relationship and the revenue belong to you.
We don't promise clients. We provide access, strategy, visibility and an exceptional network. Your results depend on your specialty, positioning, pitches and participation.

The essentials
Frequently asked questions.
Who should join?
CC welcomes professionals worldwide with at least three years of experience in communications, PR, marketing or creative services. You don’t need prior consulting experience, and you don’t need to be consulting full-time. Many members have full-time roles and freelance on the side or are preparing for a future move into independent work.
Will I definitely book client work?
No community can responsibly guarantee that. Clients decide whom they hire, and opportunities vary across specialties, industries, seniority levels and locations. Our happiest members join for the complete ecosystem of relationships, learning, collaboration and support, not for the expectation of an immediate client.
What is the difference between the two plans?
Both plans include the private community, events, expert sessions, discussion spaces and resource libraries. Full Membership also gives you access to exclusive client opportunities sourced by CC and paid opportunities shared by members.
Does CC take a percentage of my fees?
Never. When an opportunity comes through a CC introduction, you communicate, contract and work directly with the client. The client relationship and your consulting fees belong to you.
What happens after I join?
You’ll receive immediate access to the community hub and an application form. Complete it promptly so we can confirm your fit. If you aren’t approved, we’ll contact you personally and refund your payment in full. Once inside, begin with the quick-start guide.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Both plans are billed monthly and can be cancelled before the next billing date. Your access continues through the end of your current paid period.
Build something of your own.
With people in your corner.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start connecting.
