Case Study: Creative UK

The Brief

Deliver events, workshops and mentoring across several Creative UK programmes and initiatives.

Our Approach

We have taken on a diverse and exciting range of projects with Creative UK (previously Creative England). From delivering a business development workshop at Mokrin House in Serbia with the British Council, through to helping a cohort of screen businesses get investor-ready with UKBAA, plus designing and delivering cross-sector startup bootcamps, we have worked with Creative UK since the early days of Disruptive Thinking.

Our approach with Creative UK is based on a trusted and respected relationship, where we ensure reliable quality delivery, open communication and agility in responding to client and partnership needs. We are also able to provide Creative UK with key metrics, KPIs and ongoing advisory support as required.

Impact

Through our work with Creative UK, we have been fortunate to work with many amazing people and organisations including the British Council, UK Business Angels Association, the Academic Health Science Network, the Wellcome Trust, Social Tech Trust, Bethnal Green Ventures, Triodos Bank and many, many more.

As a result of our work, we have learnt how to optimise our approach to delivery without compromising on the client relationship, communication or effectiveness. Creative UK have also gained a trusted partner, who they can rely on to deliver against potentially complex and evolving project briefs.

“Disruptive Thinking developed comprehensive and engaging business development content for our international project with the British Council. The success of the project was reflected in the positive response by participants, they really engaged in the tasks that were set and considered how new methods could be applied to improve the overall performance of their business. We are confident it will have an impact in the growth of the startups involved.”
