# C8 Associates
C8 Associates is a London-based advisory firm specialising in the creative industries. They work exclusively with businesses in music, film, television, publishing, digital and media sectors, helping them navigate growth challenges and digital transformation.
The firm operates across four core areas. Their CEO adviser and non-executive director service connects creative businesses with experienced industry leaders who have tackled specific challenges—from content monetisation and copyright issues to digital strategy. Their business development team helps creative companies transition to digital models without eroding margins, focusing on the shift from physical goods to intangible assets. On the regulatory side, their public affairs practice converts commercial objectives into policy strategies, with expertise spanning Westminster and Brussels on issues including copyright, licensing, privacy and data protection. They also provide executive coaching, matching clients with mentors who bring both industry expertise and valuable networks.
What distinguishes C8 Associates is their deep specialisation in the creative economy rather than generic business consulting. They understand the particular tensions creative businesses face—balancing artistic integrity with commercial viability, managing intellectual property, and adapting to digital distribution models. Their associates aren't external consultants applying formulaic approaches; they're former industry operators who have experienced the same challenges firsthand. Research cited suggests this expertise translates to measurable results, with client revenues growing approximately a third faster than peers.
