Ben Porter is a Creative Industries Consultant with a focus on media, arts and culture in the north of England.

I assist organisations, institutions and grassroots networks with research, development and storytelling projects relating to the creative and cultural economy.

I was previously a multi disciplinary media producer working commercially for a wide range of clients, from Adidas to EY to Sony.

I’m a builder of professional networks in my hometown of York, founding several communities including York Creatives and Tech York, plus multiple sub groups.
