From the Founder
Stellar Collective was founded by Nikki Kitchen, a Manchester‑based, multi‑award‑winning agency owner with a background in creative marketing, PR, brand storytelling, and events.
Born in Manchester at the height of the COVID19 pandemic, Stellar Collective began as The Freelance Kit, a digital resource for freelancers and a community of peers for support.
Since then, it’s evolved into something deeper and grown-up, a community grounded in real relationships and a need for more in-person connection.
The evolution is Stellar Collective: a space that supports women with their ideas and ambitions.
‘‘Essentially, I wanted to create a room for smart women doing cool shit in Manchester.
For me, the real value of any community comes from authentic relationships and people showing up as they are. No performative BS, no competition, just collaboration and being human.
It’s an overused word, but I’ve seen it time and again: the strongest collaboration happens at the top.’’
