Chinese name for a publication-related firm
HI all, here’s something “fun”…. This company (an international literary agency or 出版代理公司) is interested in getting a Chinese name. Its English name is “Creative Work”. Tentatively somebody has translated this as "创意公司" but the client would like to consider other options. Could you come up with something elegant, outstanding and interesting (in my client’s words)?
*** According to my client: “work” is a word that covers all aspects of creativity be it books, film scripts, comics etc.
*** Ideally, the name should be a 3-character name. But other variants are fine if you have a genius idea to offer.
I will duly give the Kudoz to the person whose idea everyone approves the most…. Thanks a trillion!

创作坊
创作坊
After pondering for a while, I think your friend may try this one. It sounds like a site or workplace producing creative works.

添意（艺）坊
Based on what the asker offered, I would like to suggest 添意（艺）坊, indicating that the agent doing more than an agent, it can also do creative job onto what it distributes...
Hope it's satisfying enough, or there's another answer bringing better ideas...
