We are a global music, culture and creative economy consultancy. We use research and data to demonstrate the economic and social value of the creative industries, and provide strategic planning for cities, places and communities to maximise their impact. Our work unlocks new opportunities, fosters sustainable development and builds more dynamic, inclusive environments.

Comprising of consultants and experts worldwide, Sound Diplomacy has advised over 150 clients in over 30 countries, including the public sector such as  cities, municipalities, governments, and international governmental organisations, and private entities in the real estate, investment and cultural and creative sectors. 

We are creating the global standard demonstrating how investing in culture—and the people who make it—is the best path to economic and social growth. We provide world-class data and evidence so that culture, in all its forms, is incorporated into how we build, govern, and make decisions to invest in ourselves and our communities.

Sound Diplomacy owns and operates world-leading business conferences on music, culture and policy and produces insights and thought leadership with renowned partners, and is part of a group alongside Unison.
