Creative and Cultural Sectors

The creative and cultural sectors are some of the UK's most dynamic and important. Not only did they generation £116bn of GVA just before the pandemic, they are responsible for a series of positive spill-over impacts for the communities they live and work in.

We regularly work with clients and partners in professional networks, trade bodies, trade unions, sub-sector leaders, arms length bodies, grant giving organisations and individual partitioners with a focus on the creative and cultural sectors.

Our team has worked in the creative and cultural sectors - both as leaders, but also as freelance, self-employed and atypical workers. In fact, some of our team are still working in the creative and cultural sectors part-time to this day, fusing their experiences in policy making and practice, helping us to keep our finger on the pulse.

If you or your organisation has been thinking about they might influence policy at the local or national levels, then we're here to help you.

Culture Commons have really affected a step change in the traction that our research is getting with key policy stakeholders at all levels. I can't recommend them highly enough.
