@creativeeurope.bsky.social shows what happens when culture has a dedicated route into EU funding. Cooperation becomes possible. Mobility becomes possible. Cross-border circulation becomes possible. It's not a perfect or sufficient model, but it proves that naming & funding culture changes access.

What if creative work gets ambition — but no budget? Europe asks culture to deliver innovation, participation, digital content and resilience. But if the major strategic funds are designed elsewhere, creative organisations remain useful but underfunded.

The sector does not need another silo. It needs a shared front: funding, fair work, AI rights, skills, governance and recognition. Different campaigns carry different parts of the argument.

BrandBrief connects allied campaigns into one implementation question: where will creative work sit in EU funding, skills, AI rules and governance? Name it. Fund it. Protect it. Include it. Sign: brandbrief.eu/petition.html #BrandBrief #CreativeEurope #CreatorsRights

CreativeFED @creativefed.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
What is BrandBrief asking for? Not symbolic recognition. Concrete mechanisms. Funding. Naming. Skills. AI remuneration. Procurement. Governance. Regulation. The main demand: ring-fence at least €760m for Cultural & Creative Industries in the EU Competitiveness Fund architecture.

From appreciation to agency. That may be the clearest message from #SDECE2026. Europe’s Cultural and Creative Industries are not asking to be protected from transformation. They are asking for the capacity to shape it. That means recognition as Creative Innovation Infrastructure.

Urgent action for Europe’s Cultural and Creative Industries. The next EU funding architecture is being shaped now. If CCIs are not structurally included, Europe risks leaving one of its key innovation ecosystems outside the 2028–2034 investment cycle.
