We are thrilled to announce a new and exciting partnership between Athena Magazine and Freelance Mum, the dynamic networking group for mums in business. This collaboration is set to bring together two powerful communities with a shared passion for empowering women, fostering entrepreneurial spirit, and supporting the balance of work and family life.

A Partnership Rooted in Experience and Shared Values

One of Athena Magazine’s co-founders, Fran, has been a proud member of Freelance Mum for years. Her long-standing connection with the group makes this partnership even more meaningful. In recent discussions with Freelance Mum founder Faye Dicker (pictured), we’ve agreed to work together to distribute Athena Magazine to Faye’s extensive network of business-savvy mums across the South West, particularly in Devon and the surrounding counties.

While Freelance Mum has hubs all over the South West, including some exciting plans for two new hubs in Devon over the next year, many of its members, whether in Devon or neighbouring counties, are already readers of Athena Magazine. They’ve told us time and again how they find our articles useful, inspiring, and relevant to their personal and professional journeys. From business tips and entrepreneurial insights to lifestyle advice and inspirational stories, Athena has resonated with this engaged and diverse community.

What This Partnership Means for Athena Readers and Freelance Mum Members

By teaming up with Freelance Mum, we’re not only able to extend Athena Magazine’s reach but also give our readers even more value. We’re excited to announce that we’ll be featuring a regular column in Athena Magazine focusing on news and updates from Freelance Mum’s Devon hub. This column will provide insights into the latest happenings in the local business scene, highlight inspiring stories of mumpreneurs, and share opportunities for networking and collaboration.

This column will be a fantastic resource for both Athena readers and Freelance Mum members alike, keeping everyone in the loop with the latest trends, tips, and community events.

A Win for Our Advertisers

For Athena advertisers, this collaboration brings exciting opportunities to connect with a wider audience. Freelance Mum’s network of around 500 women in business across the South West (many of whom are juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship) aligns perfectly with the type of dynamic, professional women that our advertisers want to reach. Additionally, with two new hubs launching in Devon, this partnership further extends our ability to deliver targeted exposure to business owners and entrepreneurs who are looking for products and services that cater to both their professional and personal lives.

This is a fantastic opportunity for brands looking to engage with women in business, particularly those in and around Devon. With Athena’s readership growing through this partnership, advertisers will benefit from increased visibility and a highly engaged audience across the South West.

Looking Ahead: Growing Together

As Freelance Mum continues to grow, especially with the exciting addition of new hubs in Devon, this partnership promises to be mutually beneficial. By joining forces, we can better serve the needs of our readers and their growing communities, helping women in business thrive both in their careers and at home.

We’re incredibly excited about this new chapter for Athena Magazine and for the opportunity to support the brilliant women in Freelance Mum’s network. This collaboration is just the beginning of what we hope will be a lasting and fruitful relationship. Keep an eye out for our upcoming issues where we’ll introduce our new Freelance Mum column, and as always, thank you for your continued support!
