In the creative fields, pitching or sales and presentation skills are essential for justifying ideas, selling services and creative expertise to various industries, and securing funding. Pitching skills are also crucial for building collaborations – when you can present your proposal convincingly and highlight the benefits of collaboration, you attract interest.
