Creative and Cultural Industry (CCI) Development Advisory
At Portico Global, we are committed to helping governments and communities foster growth in their cultural and creative industries. We help our clients develop comprehensive CCI ecosystems to deliver socio-economic systems – from policy formulation to skills development programs, and from funding initiatives to small-business development strategies.
Management Consultancy
We work with multinational corporations, small-medium businesses as well as innovative entrepreneurs to enhance their standing in the creative and cultural industries, via business development strategies, market-entry consulting, and support for innovation.
Content Creation and Storytelling
Mindful of the fact that in a “flat” world, cultures and destinations are becoming invisibilized by both market forces and hegemonic narratives, we work with communities to enable them to engage in storytelling that furthers their cultural authenticity.
Destination Development
In a post-pandemic world, as travel becomes a possibility once again, we realize that people are looking to avoid consumptive tourism and seek out unique, sustainable ways to travel and explore other cultures. Portico Global works with governments and organizations to harness their own culture and creative potential to transform locations to destinations and experiences.
Program Curation and Management
We support government entities and private sector organizations in the creative and culture industries further their missions by curating and delivering bespoke events such as seminars and festivals. We help our partners with event conceptualization, production and management.
We Tailor Lasting Solutions
Expertise that Counts
We have deep, insightful industry expertise, which is often elusive in typical consulting firms. As a result, we provide incredible value to our clients. Our work is tailored to each client's unique needs.
Informed Decisions
We have been the client and have engaged advisors ourselves, so this informs everything we do. While our work is rooted in robust research and analytical rigor, our solutions take into account feasibility.
Diverse Perspectives
We come from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds, so our perspectives are deep and broad. We have global experience in both developed and developing markets.
Practical Solutions
We don’t stop at strategy. We implement those strategies ourselves, so all our work is practical. We also foresee and account for changes with time, so our plans remain sustainable for our clients.
We have crafted strategies and implemented innovative initiatives for multi-national corporations, startups, and government and public entities around the world
