Welcome to The Knighton Group

Strategic consultancy for culture, creativity and digital transformation

The Knighton Group helps cultural organisations and creative companies thrive through bold digital strategy, filmed performance and audience innovation.

I’m Emma Keith, founder of The Knighton Group. I work with leaders across the cultural and creative sectors to turn vision into action, whether that’s building new revenue streams, producing standout digital content, or shaping strategic plans that deliver lasting impact.

I’m a digital pioneer behind National Theatre Live (cinema), National Theatre at Home (streaming), and National Theatre Collection (education).

Whether you’re launching something new or scaling existing activity, I help arts and cultural organisations to grow digital audiences, generate sustainable revenue, and shape strategies that balance creative ambition with long-term impact.

From early planning to final delivery, I work alongside teams to capture and distribute live performance in ways that are creatively authentic, technically strong, and built to reach and resonate with digital audiences.

With experience navigating complex rights environments, I help organisations make confident decisions about licensing, protect their creative assets and unlock long-term value through smart, future-proof approaches to IP and digital distribution.

I’m Emma Keith, a strategic consultant with a background in leading digital transformation across the cultural and creative industries.

Previously Managing Director of Digital at the National Theatre, I launched platforms like National Theatre at Home, scaled National Theatre Live globally, and built the in-house Content Production Studio. Now, through The Knighton Group, I help organisations shape bold strategies, produce high-impact digital content, and build meaningful connections with audiences.

I work best where creativity meets complexity, and where there’s ambition to do things differently. Alongside my consultancy work, I serve on the Board of One Dance UK and on the Alumni Advisory Group at King’s College London.
