WEST BRIDGE CONSULTING About us Leadership Our Services Reports & Presentations Contact Us ABOUT US ABOUT US West Bridge Consulting is an advisory firm which focuses on the arts, media and entertainment sectors, cultural diplomacy and the ‘creative economy’. West Bridge is based in London but is international in scope. The company was founded in 2003 by Martin Smith. The world market for cultural goods and services is growing fast. It continued to expand even during the global slump of 2008-09. All the predictions indicate that this trend will accelerate, driven by technological advance and the rapid expansion of the middle class in emerging economies. Against this background we help government agencies to plan for growth by identifying sources of competitive advantage, working through strategic options and advising on appropriate policy instruments. Similarly, we help businesses, trade associations and others to make their case to governments and regulators more effectively, enhance their profiles and increase market share. West Bridge Consulting is co-located with Ingenious (www.theingeniousgroup.co.uk), an advisory, finance and investment group. Ingenious is the UK’s largest independent investor in the creative industries.
