Abstract: The creative industries are a vital and expanding sector of the global economy, supporting cultural and economic development in many regions (United Nations Educational and Scientific Cultural Organization 2022; Anheier and Markovic 2024).In the United Kingdom, they are critical to the economy, contributing an estimated £124.6bn in 2022 or 5.7% GVA (DCMS 2024).These industries, encompassing sectors such as film, television, publishing, advertising, and the performing arts, have gained prominence in recent policy discourse, notably in the new Labour Government's vision for the UK's economic future.
