Creative Economy

The rise of the creative economy has been a defining feature of economic development across the world. Based on ideas, creativity and talent, the creative industries are a consistent driver of cultural, economic and social value, while creativity adds value in multiple ways across the wider economy. 

EKOS has long been at the forefront of thinking and research into the creative economy in the UK, and has an extensive portfolio of clients in this area ranging from national and local government to cultural organisations, broadcasters, development agencies and industry bodies.
