Attended the launch of 'Kin' last week. It was a good do in the Racquet Club attended by about 200 people from the creative industries of Merseyside.

'Kin' is the first ever online community exclusively for creative businesses on Merseyside. The Kin website, www.kin2kin.co.uk, has been specifically designed to allow businesses to connect with each other, find partners to collaborate with on projects, build relationships, trade and refer work to one another, and help showcase the creative talent on Merseyside.

The website offers members the chance to promote their services online, access useful business advice, view industry news and find details of networking opportunities and sources of business support without having to leave their desks.

Liverpool based design firm Nonconform has created both the website and the Kin branding. MD John Barraclough says:
"We were delighted to have been chosen to work on the project and are right behind the concept. Creative people work better if they are better connected - Kin is the resource to make that happen."

artinliverpool.com has signed up of course.
