STRATEGIC REALISM FOR
CULTURE AND CREATIVITY
Green Raven is an independent consultancy bridging the gap between creative-technology studios and arts, culture, and heritage organisations. We help studios to reframe their offer, develop their products, and win more projects through strategic approaches. We also work direct with cultural venues and arts organisations bringing cultural insights, cross-sector knowledge, brief scoping, and an experienced external view to digital, immersive, and createch projects.
WHAT DOES GREEN RAVEN DO?
Cultural organisations work with Green Raven for strategic advice on what creative technology can do for them without the hype, how to get the most value from emerging tech, and how to engage their visitors and audiences.
Creative, immersive, and digital studios work with Green Raven to develop their products, projects and services so they connect with what museums, galleries, and venues actually need and drive at key strategic objectives for the cultural sector.
Funding bodies and support programmes work with Green Raven to share knowledge, assess applicaitons, deliver workshops, and provide mentoring to creative businesses.
