It's very exciting to be working for a company that is looking at new ways to get great digital content to audiences internationally. Uniquely, Cultureshock's publishing background means that the company has extensive experience in editorial work and has built up a reputation for content, design and film production, working within the arts with organisations including the V&A, British Council, White Cube and Phillips auction house to develop new online channels for specially-commissioned digital content. I believe that the contextualisation of the arts within a wider societal and political framework is fundamental to audience's understanding and engagement.
