Executive Snapshot
The Challenge
| Pain-Point | Impact on Creative Community | Why It Mattered |
|---|---|---|
| Fragmented visibility for sustainable creatives | Creative projects remained isolated, limiting collaboration and opportunities | Reduced collective momentum for positive change |
| No centralized hub to discover, connect, or showcase sustainable talent | Creatives struggled to reach audiences, partners, and clients | Limited growth and recognition for emerging innovators |
| Difficulty for the public and external partners to find eco-driven talent | Missed partnerships, support, and media opportunities | Slower movement towards national sustainability goals |
| Lack of flexible tech infrastructure for future needs | Couldn’t scale or adapt to emerging creative demands | Restricted platform growth and impact |
Good Life X needed a creative, highly functional platform that aligned with its vision for sustainable, community-driven growth—one that would evolve with Sri Lanka’s creative landscape.
