Case Study: The Studio builds a supportive creative community with Mighty Networks

How Katy Cowan Made a Supportive Sanctuary for Creatives with Mighty

The Studio, created by Katy Cowan as an extension of Creative Boom, needed a private, distraction-free place where creatives could connect, collaborate, and support each other outside of social media. She turned to Mighty Networks and used the Scale Plan to build a community centered on paid membership, workshops, and events.

With Mighty Networks, The Studio launched a space for discussions, job opportunities, live meetups, and weekly prompts, helping members share advice, encouragement, and inspiration. The response was immediate, with 2,000 members joining in less than two weeks, and Katy now plans to expand into paid tiers with exclusive events, courses, and deeper learning experiences.
