With over a decade's experience across the media, music, cultural, marketing and communication sectors, I have unrivalled knowledge of the wider content and creative industries, and the skills required to develop, launch, run and promote businesses and projects in these areas.

As well as bringing this knowledge and skills-base to my own media, and to UnLimited's creative services clients, I also offer this expertise on a consultancy basis via UnLimited's consulting division.

UnLimited Consulting provides consultancy in music, media, culture and youth. We advise existing players and newcomers in all these areas on current trends and best practice, and help consumer brands who wish to utilise music, media or culture as marketing channels. The nature of our consulting services vary from project to project. We can offer simple low-cost 'insight sessions' and 'workshops', as well as competitively priced bespoke 'trend reports' and 'market reviews'. We also undertake large-scale research and business development projects.

More details of my credentials in the four areas where I consult are given below. To discuss a consulting proect, call 020 7099 9050 or send an email to chris@unlimitedmedia.co.uk. I am also available to write, speak and lecture on music, media or culture topics.
