Sherry Collins, Jamaican Freedom Fighter.
I am Sherry Collins, Jamaican Freedom Fighter and founder, editor, writer, and creative innovator of The Pitch Fanzine.
A new media with integrity at the heart of it.
The Pitch Fanzine is a movement, media brand, and industry leader in the creative industries.
The inclusive platform was founded in 2015 to challenge inequality, discrimination, and the lack of diversity in the advertising creative industry while showcasing outstanding creative talent.
The Pitch Fanzine has grown to include Pitch Futures, Pitch Magazine, Pitch TV, Pitch Conversations, campaigns, initiatives, education programmes, creative consultancy, and movement:
Free Jamaica and free the world.
And save the planet.
The Pitch Fanzine’s creative network of inclusive super creative people includes investors, leaders in the creative industries, brand founders, AI creatives, marketers, agency executives, strategists, commercial directors, writers, journalists, editors, VFX artists, filmmakers, animators, illustrators, content creators, photographers, producers, sound designers, graphic designers, art directors, copywriters, makers, activists, and creators at global brands, advertising agencies, design companies, production companies, animation companies, edit suites, post houses, sound studios, talent agencies, creative award bodies, and universities.
On Wednesdays at 2:30pm GMT I share the journey of our movement, Free Jamaica and free the world, in our newsletter, on The Pitch Fanzine platform, and socials.
The Pitch Fanzine’s newsletter open rate is 50% weekly and is read and shared across the creative industries.
I enjoy meeting new people and supporting them on their career journeys.
I keep Thursdays free for meetings with emerging creative talent and share insights on our industry.
I am my authentic self.
I am a Jamaican living in London and Jamaica, and I lived briefly in America during my early years.
My story, Life Lessons Learned, is about my childhood growing up in Saint Ann, Jamaica, age 6 to 13, and my time in adland years later.
I can speak in five different accents and dialects.
At age 13, after leaving the island of my birth, I decided to learn how the world works.
How societies are created.
I am a cultural anthropologist and researcher.
Over the past 30 years, I set out my real mission to find inclusive super creative people who would return home with me to uplift, inspire, and share knowledge about the creative industries with the Jamaican people, the Caribbean, and the world.
And save the planet.
Please read how I found my super people.
Each year, I invite and champion 100 Superpeople who are doing good for the world through their creative work and initiatives.
Superpeople are celebrated and promoted on The Pitch Fanzine platform in our newsletters and on our socials.
Please visit The Pitch Fanzine’s Instagram page to see some of our Pitch Superpeople covers and read why they are super.
On Friday, May 31st, 2024, we woke up for Pitch Futures Creative Jamaica at Negril Primary.
The Pitch Futures Creative Jamaica hybrid creative class was in session with our Pitch Pioneers in person and online.
Please read my bio to learn more about The Pitch Fanzine’s initiatives and campaigns.
Please read What is oppression? to learn how I navigated the advertising creative industry to get where I am today.
The Pitch Fanzine will connect communities from around the world with Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean through creative projects, Pitch Futures initiatives, Pitch Magazine, and Pitch TV.
Emerging creative talent entering the creative industries will be offered the opportunity to learn about our world and collaborate together.
The Pitch Fanzine will partner with brands doing good for the world on Pitch TV moving-image projects and with the Pitch Futures programme.
In February 2025, we will publish Pitch Creative Talent, sharing the stories of creative people in The Pitch Fanzine’s inclusive super creative network and in Jamaica.
In May 2025, we host the Pitch Knowledge and Learning Summit 2025.
The Pitch Fanzine has created an inclusive super creative network for Jamaicans to collaborate with the creative industries around the world while living in Jamaica.
The Pitch Fanzine will champion our partners and talent in Pitch Magazine, on Pitch TV, socials, platform, and in our Wednesdays at 2:30pm Newsletter.
We are inclusive super creative people with the power to create a sustainable world.
Time, to create our new futures.
We are in a knowledge-sharing revolution, creating a new world.
Best wishes,
Sherry Collins
