Call to businesses - be part of the Creative Business Panel

The Creative Business Panel (CBP) is a longitudinal study to track the behaviours, performance and experiences of businesses across all creative sub-sectors, business sizes and UK geographies.

This is the first time data about creative businesses is being collected on this scale, creating an evidence base to inform decisions for business leaders and policymakers. It has the potential to unite the creative industries to drive economic growth in the sector.

The CBP is led by the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) and CoSTAR Foresight Lab, in partnership with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

Involving five waves of surveying and running until 2028, the CBP will transform the quantity and depth of insight available to both businesses and government when it comes to supporting growth.

Led by the AHRC-funded Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) and CoSTAR (Convergent Screen Technologies and Performance in Realtime) Foresight Lab, the survey will track the behaviours, performance and experiences of businesses across all creative sub-sectors, business sizes and UK locations. It’s the first time such holistic evidence about the sector will be brought together in one place.
