Calling all creative digital businesses between Brighton and Chichester
Calling all creative digital businesses between Brighton and Chichester
The Coastal West Sussex Partnership is urging all creative digital businesses located between Brighton and Chichester to complete a short survey: https://forms.gle/Fs5s2R2BxnEyJ7gc9
The results of the survey will inform a project conducted by Wired Sussex and the University of Chichester to produce a strategy to connect and grow the creative digital sector in the region.
Caroline Wood, Director of the Coastal West Sussex Partnership, explains: “There is fantastic work taking place in our region from film and music production to esports, web development, VR, AR and gaming. This project will develop a strategy to connect these businesses and help them raise their game by working together.”
The first part of the project will collect information and evidence on what creative digital businesses and organisations already exist, what works for them, and what is required to help them work better and more successfully.
Following the research, recommendations will be made to help connect and grow the sector and suggest which pieces of the jigsaw might be missing to enable that to happen.
Phil Jones, MD, Wired Sussex, commented: “If you are a creative digital business or organisation based in Brighton or the Coastal West Sussex region - from Brighton, Worthing, Bognor Regis, Chichester or anywhere else in between - we need to hear from you. Our short survey takes less than five minutes, and you would be helping ensure we recommend strategies that will support your future success.”
