Welcome to The Top 100 South West Creative Companies League Table – 2009, brought to you by Bristol Media. This guide is the first ever round up of all the major TV, digital, publishing, PR, design and marketing companies from across the region in one list, ranked by turnover.
With a staggering £0.5 billion of combined turnover from companies featured in this guide, the South West can clearly hold its undisputed position as one of Europe’s leading creative hubs, home to world class TV production companies, multi award winning marketing and digital agencies, internationally renowned animation and publishing companies and some of the most innovative design and PR consultancies.
Although for many, 2009 has been a challenging year, the sector has continued to thrive and expand and there’s an overwhelmingly optimistic feel when looking ahead to the next 12 months.
Congratulations to all the companies who’ve made the grade this year and to those who only just missed out.
We asked five leading members of the creative and media community to give us their opinions on the last twelve months and what they hope 2009/2010 has in store.
