I'm a digital mkting + comms specialist looking to segue into creative production: any advice on suitable entry roles to build experience?

I'm a really adaptable comms + marketing professional with tons of experience across the board – I've done (and can do) everything from SEO content writing + strategy to brand guardianship + development; crowdfunding £606k to open a new restaurant; graphic design; social media management + strategy: event production + everything in between. I've got a good nose when it comes to seeking out experts who are good at what they do – and good to work with – and managing/overseeing projects while working with these experts (e.g. SEO, PPC + PR agencies as well as freelance creatives such as photographers, web developers, stylists, signwriters, graphic designers etc.).

I've informally (but in a professional capacity) managed smaller-scale projects from inception to delivery, including my own art + design event, @n4makersmarket, which I'm currently building as a brand. I've got excellent personal + professional connections with a large community of designers, makers, artists + people who work in the film + events industries, and again have a good instinct when it comes to finding the right people to work with.

On the visual side, I've also got a very honed curatorial eye + am a great person for linking up the right person with the right project or contact (especially artists/designers, more recently). I know and trust my own sense of aesthetic, and my ability not only to read the sort of visual (and written) tone of voice a brand is aiming for, but also help brands develop their voice further.

I'd absolutely love to move my career in the direction of creative production/project management, but I'm not quite sure what the best segue into it is, in order to build experience + a portfolio/reputation, and exactly what sort of projects/companies/sectors I might be able to work on/with...

So: I thought I'd ask the community here! Thanks in advance if you're able to offer any expertise and/or guidance (or even ask me questions to set me on a more specific path!) :)
