&lt;p&gt;Bristol Media and partners will be sending out entry forms and collating information to go into the South West&#8217;s first ever Top 100 Creative Companies League Table which will be published in April/May 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Top 100 will feature companies across all of the key creative sectors including digital, TV, marketing and advertising, design, animation and PR.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The forms will be available to complete online w/c 9th March.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pete Levy, Chair stated:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;A list of all the main creative companies doesn&#8217;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.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mike Bennett, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; agreed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We realise that the region is full of relatively small creative businesses and we&amp;#8217;ll aim to feature as many of these as possible alongside the main table in a &amp;#8216;ones to watch&amp;#8217; section that will highlight the region&amp;#8217;s most exciting new talent and up and coming businesses.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mike continued:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We anticipate the enteries will start around the &#163;250,000 mark so it really will cover a comprehensive mix of businesses of all shapes and sizes&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
