Andy Burnham marked the international expansion of the Huffington Post today with a blog posting about c&binet. 

Blogging alongside the international humanitarian campaigner, Queen Noor of Jordan and John Kerry, the former Presidential Candidate, Andy Burnham argued that creativity has never been more important and that now is the time for the creative industries to move from the margins to the mainstream.

Andy Burnham said that the “International debate has not kept pace with the speed of technological change and globalization.” He also alluded to some of the themes that are beginning to gain momentum such as the role of education in fostering creativity and more philosophical questions around whether creativity is a function of business or simply about having fun. It’s going to be interesting to see how these debates play out and which ones make onto the agenda for October next year.
