Looking for a Passion Project with Purpose?

At Ace Places, we believe every town has its own kind of magic – and our illustrated playing cards are designed to celebrate just that. From independent businesses and community events to hidden gems and local legends, each deck brings a place to life, one joyful card at a time.

We’ve had an amazing response to the Henley and Marlow packs – and now we’re looking to grow.

But not with big rollouts or cookie-cutter launches. We’re looking for people. The right people. Local champions who can lead their own Ace Places pack where they live.

Who is this for?

This is for someone who’s ready for a creative challenge – something with purpose, freedom, and joy baked in.

Maybe you’ve been in your job a while and it’s… fine. But you know you’ve got more to give. You’d love to build something of your own. Something that taps into your skills and your love for your local community.

Or maybe you’re on maternity leave, looking ahead and realising that your old role no longer fits. You want flexibility. Variety. A reason to get excited about Mondays again.

This isn’t about selling a product – it’s about telling the story of a town and the people who make it special.

So who thrives as a pack leader?

🃏 You love where you live – You light up when talking about your town and want to see your high street buzzing and full of life.

🃏 You’re a natural connector – Maybe you already know a few local business owners, or you just have that knack for chatting to anyone and building trust quickly.

🃏 You come from a creative, comms or business-y background – PR, marketing, media, journalism, events, fundraising, or small business experience? Ideal.

🃏 You’re ready to run your own thing – Leading a pack is a brilliant side hustle to begin with, with the potential to grow into your main thing.

You don’t need to be a designer or have experience with cards. What you do need is heart, hustle, and a love for championing what’s great about where you live.

So – could this be you? Or someone you know?

We’d love to hear from you. Head to aceplaces.co.uk/pages/leadyourpack to find out more and apply.

Because the best way to grow Ace Places is by finding more people who are ready to lead their own pack.
