PDFBeyond the creative industries: mapping the creative economy in the United Kingdom

31 January 2008The creative industries are one of the most important contributors to the UK economy. So it is important that we accurately measure their contribution to economic activity. Doing so can help both policymakers and industry
professionals to communicate key concepts, share reliable data and make the case for greater investment.

There have been renewed attempts to estimate the true size of the creative economy. The Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) both published studies in 2007. This report, co-authored by Peter Higgs and Stuart Cunningham of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation,
complements their work and seeks to improve on the available data about the true extent of creative activity within the economy.
