Bristol Media and partners will be sending out entry forms and collating information to go into the South West’s first ever Top 100 Creative Companies League Table which will be published in April/May 2009.

The table will be the definitive guide to all the major players across the region as well as listing the most exciting new start ups and ones to watch.

The Top 100 will feature companies across all of the key creative sectors including digital, TV, marketing and advertising, design, animation and PR.

The forms will be available to complete online w/c 9th March.

Pete Levy, Chair stated:

“A list of all the main creative companies doesn’t exist and we think one should. Every major industry magazine has an annual league table that ranks companies by turnover. They provide a valuable insight into the landsacpe of a particular sector and more importantly, help those companies listed in the table to build their profile and win new business throughout the year.”

Mike Bennett, CEO agreed:

“We realise that the region is full of relatively small creative businesses and we’ll aim to feature as many of these as possible alongside the main table in a ‘ones to watch’ section that will highlight the region’s most exciting new talent and up and coming businesses."

Mike continued:

“We anticipate the enteries will start around the £250,000 mark so it really will cover a comprehensive mix of businesses of all shapes and sizes”.
