I have put up a new blog posting:
UK Creative Industries success story in hard economic times
http://simon-tanner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/uk-creative-industries-success-story-in.html
The UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport released the Creative Industries
Economic Estimates today. They show an incredible story of growth and success
for the UK Creative Industries compared to the incredibly shallow growth in the
rest of the UK economy.
The creative industries reportedly generate ?8m per hour for the UK economy and
employment within the creative industries increased at more than 10 times the
prevailing rate of UK job growth.
All my best,
Simon
