We asked some of the Creative Lunch Club members, what they think about the Creative Lunch Club. Here you'll find their statements. Feel free to send us yours too.
I love Creative Lunch Club because it harnesses the most human way of connecting, sharing a meal. It's an effortless way for creatives to build diverse connections and friendships across various fields and meet people they wouldn't otherwise.
The Creative Lunch Club has been a fantastic way to connect with like-minded creatives in Budapest. As a photographer, working alone can feel isolating, so meeting new people has been refreshing. Some have offered valuable advice, and others have become collaborators, making this experience truly rewarding.
I had my first Creative Lunch Club match on October of this year, and I have met pretty great people since then. Not only creatives, which is the reason why I joined: to connect with other creatives and share what I do as well, but I have met really nice people from all over the world here in Paris. Listening to other people's stories and experiences has been lovely because it also helps you connect and establish friendships (and have great food as well!).
Creative Lunch Club is the easiest most low-key way to grow your network, maybe even make some new friends, share expertise, lift each other up, and perhaps end up working together on something.
The CLC is great because I can easily get to know previously unknown creative people in the city, gain new inspiration, expand my talent network and also discover new corners and restaurants in the city. I think CLC members are curious and open-minded people by nature. It's always exciting to learn more about the city's creative scene and its projects. At my previous meetings, we always had interesting discussions and the time for lunch was often far too short. I'm already looking forward to my next CLC.
I really enjoy meeting new people through Creative Lunch Club. I think it's a great way of making new contacts, especially as a foreigner in a new city.
I love to get inspired by fellow creatives and the Creative Lunch Club makes this easy for me. The conversations during these lunches have always an energizing impact on me.
Thanks for running such a great community! I'm so glad I took a chance and tried this for the first time, and I can't wait for the next month to roll around. Excited to see this network grow!
I was longing for a new context and hoping to create some kind of community. Signed up to Creative Lunch Club and every month they match me with two other creatives in my region. I’ve already met for a second time with my matches and we’ve already exchanged much laughs, feelings and ideas. And a gig or two.
Creative Lunch Club is amazing! It makes it easy to connect with other creatives in your area, making new friends every month. I’ve really enjoyed my lunches so far.
Was looking for something exactly like Creative Lunch Club. A modern third place, also a digital community and a way to network. Tried few alternatives and this one is perfect. Brought a lot of new things to my daily life. Wish to use it when I travel as well.
You know that feeling when you find your people? That’s exactly what I feel every month when I meet up with my new matches on the creative lunch club. People I’ve met have all been genuine and interested in real human connection. I genuinely look forward to my new matches every month.
I met a video editor and a graphic designer via Creative Lunch Club and it was wholesome. We talked about procrastination, working from home, finding clients, cats, medication and anxiety. Highly recommend if you’re in your creative silo a lot and don’t like mass networking events.
I joined CLC a couple of months ago and have met some pretty awesome creative peeps. Every month you get paired a couple creatives from your city to plan a lunch with to talk shop. It’s a great way to expand your network - extremely great value IMO.
As a proud member of the Creative Lunch Club, I have connected with countless talented and inspiring creatives across Amsterdam, London, New York City, and Portland, OR. This community has enriched my international network and allowed me to collaborate with amazing freelancers on client projects for my purpose-driven creative agency. The Creative Lunch Club is a beacon of creativity and camaraderie in the industry.
I recently signed up for Creative Lunch Club and I am enjoying the experience so much. It’s a great way to connect with other creatives in your area.
I stumbled upon Creative Lunch Club and had my first lunch and loved it. If you are a creative looking to be less lonely in this sprawling city and have interesting conversations in Los Angeles, I recommend it.
So I’ve just moved back to my home town after living overseas for 3 years and I’ve always had trouble meeting creative people that are my vibe. I figured Brisbane just didn’t have many creatives. I signed up for creative lunch club and boy did they pull through. I met two people my age and in the exact same position as me, just moved here and looking for creative friends. We all clicked immediately and started making all the plans before going for a drive together and extending out hang out. So excited for the next meetup! Couldn’t recommend this more, it’s such a great concept.
So lovely and energizing to connect with other designers, bonding over shared experiences, loves/qualms about our work, how to avoid creative burnout, what we’re looking forward to, and so on. Looking forward to continuing to make these thoughtful connections and have meaningful conversations.
Thanks to Creative Lunch Club and their beautiful concept I regularly get to meet new creative people in Vienna every month.
Everything about Creative Lunch Club makes me happy - the concept, the people and the vibe. It is such a fun way of getting to meet like-minded people and make new friends in your city!
Creative Lunch Club is always a treat. If you are new to a city, looking for collaborators or just nice humans, I would recommend.
I recently moved to Barcelona and was looking for ways to meet new people in the city. The Creative Lunch is such a convenient and fun way to meet new people! I learnt a lot from the other two, who have been here much longer than I have. I can't wait for the next one!
The Creative Lunch Club is a fantastic initiative and a powerful network for me as a creative. Beyond sharing meals and meeting people, I made good friends and found clients over time. It was surprising to learn that CLC is present in many European cities, allowing me to stay connected even after moving.
Creative Lunch Club is an amazing initiative for us creatives to meet others who are like-minded. As creatives we have our friends, colleagues and acquaintances, but having the opportunity to connect and get to know other operators who are inspiring and each have a story to tell is what our industry needs more of – to feel a part of a community.
My first lunch was with Lea & Caroline, NYC designers like me and it was great to meet them outside of work in a casual setting. Creative Lunch Club does the hard part of linking me up with others when otherwise, I’d be so focused on work that I wouldn’t have the energy to find like-minded people. And you make new friends.
Thanks to Creative Lunch Club I found friends and inspiring conversations and connections with people that I probably would not have met otherwise. The process is easy and straight forward and everyone is so friendly, interesting and talented - what an amazing experience.
When I found about the Creative Lunch Club I immediately thought I had to join. I live for design communities but so rarely we get opportunities to have these small group gatherings, so lunch feels like the ideal excuse to meet other creatives. Had the first one the other day and yep, it was a great experience and can’t wait for the next.
I am an East London girl with a busy life and have found it hard to meet like-minded creatives but after only using the creativelunchclub once, I met one of my soul mates. Not only are we doing some collaborating with her being a singer and myself working in fashion and modelling which has all been really useful but we have also become best friends. Loved my experience and would highly recommend it for anyone that wants to network in the creative ares and you never know, you might meet your bestie too.
Thank you so much for the lunch club so far — I have already made some fabulous friendships, have been introduced into the unfamiliar worlds of other creatives, and even had a wonderful new project idea.
When I joined Creative Lunch Club, I didn’t expect to connect with people who live in the same neighbourhood as me. It’s pretty cool to build a community of creatives in your vicinity, especially because it’s easier to nurture those connections when you live in a big city. I love it.

I moved to Brussels a year and a half ago, from a small town, to pursue more photography opportunities. The Creative Lunch Club has been instrumental in helping me connect with other creatives and discover the wonders of this city. Sharing lunch with like-minded creatives has opened up new ideas and perspectives for me. The passion and energy from these gatherings never fail to inspire and motivate me.
The initiative by the Creative Lunch Club has allowed me to meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise. I now have a bigger network and new friends.
