In this paper we explore some of the limitations of current analysis of the creative economy and suggest a more nuanced approach, based on the mapping of creative interactions and activities. This type of relational approach provides a more empirical basis for policy makers to determine who and how best to support the creative economy. It therefore has considerable scope for mainstream policy application.
