signifier community interest company
London
Signifier is a consultancy and think tank that provides practical solutions for
organisations in the creative industries, in order to aid their success in
creating greater equity and representation for marginalised people and
peripheral communities. We do this by working with entities to improve, amongst
other things; diversity policy, inclusionary practices, and organisational
culture. We specialise in issues pertaining to African Heritage People and
People of Colour, but we are also able to advise on the principles of savvy
practice in all areas of diversity. According to the UK government (2018), the
UK’s creative industries have reached a £100 billion-mark contribution to the
economy in 2017. The industry is composed of a wide range of sectors, including
television and film, advertising, architecture, design, video games, fashion,
music, arts and culture, and publishing. We work with our clients and partners
mainly across the areas of (but not restricted to) workforce, programming and
audience development through active listening, research, project development,
policy development and workshops.
