People we love to work with
John Kieffer
John has been lucky enough to feed his obsession for music, the visual arts, literature (and just about anything else that makes his spine tingle) by working in the arts and creative industries for over 20 years. Starting off organising music events in a tiny but fragrant bookshop basement in Brighton, John’s career has taken in periods working for the British Council, Artangel, London Arts, the Arts Foundation and many others.
He now works as an independent consultant and adviser with clients ranging from government departments to individual artists and producers. He is particularly interested in the changing expectations of audiences, and also in investigating and developing new models for supporting the creative economy. He is co-editing a book on the recession and the creative economy to be published in April.
He may also be the only person to start a blog and then forget where he left it…
