Institutional and government advisory
Advisory for governments, agencies, universities and cultural bodies that need creative economy strategy grounded in delivery, not theory. I run the tours, the festivals and the company, so the plan I write is a plan that can be built.

Continents worked across on live and policy briefs
01
Where the value sits in a national music, film or events sector, what leaks offshore and which infrastructure closes the gap.
02
Programmes that carry a country's story abroad, designed around real artists and real audiences rather than showcase events nobody attends.
03
Reaching diaspora communities as participants and investors, using the channels and cultural cues they actually respond to.
04
Research, written briefs and testimony, including work presented to United Nations bodies and covered by international press.
How the missions work
01
Missions that sit where culture meets policy: private meetings with heads of state and ministers, and contributions to national creative economy and soft power agendas.
02
Each trip maps venues, partners and talent, finds the gaps in local infrastructure, and designs touring routes, festival concepts and capacity building for the next generation.
03
Bridging home and diaspora through events, storytelling and curated experiences that move travel, investment and cultural exchange in both directions.
Most institutional work runs as a retained advisory arrangement or a defined programme with named deliverables. Tell me the mandate, the timeline and who has to be convinced, and I will come back with a shape and a figure.
