New Deal of the Mind has become The Creative Society

Since founder and CEO Martin Bright wrote the article that kick-started our work, the concept of a New Deal of the Mind has provided a mutually rewarding service in which creative organisations and businesses have directly benefitted from the creation of over 1000 sustainable jobs for young people.

As our work has evolved however, we’ve had to evolve with it, and now need a new way to better reflect the positive outcomes that we as New Deal of the Mind have helped to shape.

We are therefore evolving our brand to become known as The Creative Society with a mission to build and support the creative economy.

Look out for changes across our social media sites – coming very soon.
