Leading on the production of a flagship report for the Creative PEC

  • Copyediting, Copywriting, Project Management, Proofreading

The challenge

The Creative Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) provides independent research and policy recommendations for the UK’s creative industries. It works across 10 thematic areas, such as the value of arts and culture, R&D and innovation, and diversity and inclusion.

Its team needed support to produce a flagship report that would showcase the work of the Creative PEC in its first five years.

The solution

We were contracted as a trusted partner to lead the report production, from initial concepts to print management. Our remit included copywriting support, editing, proofreading, design, project management and printing. The State of Creativity report was successfully launched during a high-profile conference at the British Film Institute with 400+ delegates.

  • We led on the production of the report from scratch, working closely with the Creative PEC team and over 20 contributors.
  • We edited contributions from researchers, striking a balance between using plain English and retaining complex research and policy analysis.
  • We wrote several original pieces based on interviews and research.
  • We created striking designs for the report and launch event at the BFI. These included illustrations, infographics, a logo, posters, presentations and other assets.
  • We delivered the report on time and on budget by keeping to a detailed schedule.
  • We later translated parts of the report into Arabic for the British Council for use at a separate event.

Testimonial:

‘Tate & Clayburn were fantastic to work with. Rosie has meticulous attention to detail, we felt in very safe hands. She project-managed our report from start to finish, leading on copywriting, editing, proofing, design and print management. We would have no hesitation in working with her again; it felt like having another member of our core team throughout the project.’ — Alice Kent, Communications Manager, Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre

‘Thank you again for all your work in pulling together a fine report. It is no mean feat given the many different voices you had to bring together. Thanks for your flexibility, patience and good humour throughout the process.’ — Hasan Bakhshi, Director of the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre
