Creative and Media
Bristol is one of the leading European cities for the creative and cultural industry which accounts for 12% of all businesses in Bristol. The main players include the multiple Oscar-winning Aardman Animations, the BBC Natural History Unit, Oakwood Media Group and Sift.
Bristol has a reputation for being unorthodox and over the centuries has attracted creative innovative and intelligent people from Brunel through the designers of Concorde to Banksy and Aardman. Bristol's pre-eminence in the creative and media sectors continues to attract the best people and the best businesses to the area.
Bristol is the worldwide leader in wildlife and environmental film accounting for 25% of the sector’s global output and hosts the international "Wildscreen Festival" every two years. Another International event in Bristol is the annual Encounters Short Film Festival hosted at the Watershed.
Old industrial sites like the Paintworks and the Tobacco Factory have been transformed into creative quarters bringing the creative community closer together and generally the city is buzzing with creative energy. This is helping Bristol's agencies win work from their London competitors, because the clients can see the quality of work and more competitive pricing.
