Creative entrepreneurship is the practice of setting up a business – or setting yourself up as self-employed - in one of the creative industries. The focus of the creative entrepreneur differs from that of the typical business entrepreneur or, indeed, the social entrepreneur in that s/he is concerned first and foremost with the creation and exploitation of creative or intellectual capital. Essentially, creative entrepreneurs are investors in talent – their own and/or other people’s.
The most renowned creative entrepreneurs have combined creative flair with entrepreneurial ability to build multi-million dollar business empires. Examples include Rupert Murdoch, Madonna and Richard Branson.
