CREATIVE AND MEDIA SECTOR
Britain has a strong track record of creative output. Over the past decade, our creative industries have grown at twice the rate of the economy as a whole. And it is continuing to grow, as demand for creative content and creative talent increases.
Ideas are at the heart of creativity. It’s ideas that drive all the different industries, such as advertising, film, interactive media, music and the performing arts.
Britain’s writers, artists, choreographers, directors, composers and comedians light up countless lives. If you want to be part of this exciting world you need to have not only the ideas and the talent, but also the skills and knowledge to turn your ideas into reality.

Jessie J, from Essex, has always said singing was her ‘thing’ and has always been creative. She attended Colin’s Performing Arts School and at 11 was cast in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End production of Whistle Down the Wind. At 16 she began studying at the BRIT School and joined girl group Soul Deep, graduating in 2006 with Adele and Leona Lewis. Jessie says that suffering a minor stroke at 18, gave her the courage to be herself in the music industry. After writing hit songs for the likes of Chris Brown, Jessie won her own recording contract and has had numerous hits including ‘Price Tag’ and ‘Domino’.
