We celebrate, inspire and support the creative community.

Creative Boom is one of the UK's leading magazines dedicated to the creative industry.

Founded in 2009, we deliver news, inspiration, insight and advice to seven million creative professionals every year.

From artists, designers and makers to illustrators, photographers, filmmakers and animators – we support creatives at every stage of their careers, from leaving education to employment, freelancing or leading a team.


We share breaking industry news, keeping you updated on what's happening in your creative field.

We showcase the most exciting creative work to offer inspiration and champion emerging and established talent. We write about recommended tools, resources and books, and interview the brightest and best creatives. We also provide invaluable tips and insight to help creatives everywhere thrive.

By exploring creativity through our magazine, podcast, and our entire network, we honour our original ethos: to support the creative community, particularly the underrepresented, offering an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome.
