Bristol is preparing to take its first steps towards a potential bid to become the UK City of Culture in 2029, a title that celebrates creativity, community, and the power of culture totransform lives.

On Tuesday 20 January councillors agreed to submit an expression of interest to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). This marks the beginning of a journey that could see Bristol shortlisted for one of the country’s most prestigious culturalhonours.

The UK City of Culture programme shines a national spotlight on the cultural life of cities, bringing opportunities for residents and visitors to experience creativity in new and exciting ways.

Previous winners have seen lasting benefits: increased local pride, stronger community connections, and a boost to the local economy through tourism and investment.

For Bristol, the ambition is clear: to use culture as a force for inclusion and opportunity.

LaToyah McAllister-Jones, founding partner and lead facilitator at Citizens for Culture, said:

Bristol now join other cities in the race to become UK City of Culture 2029. The process involves several stages, starting with the expression of interest and leading to a shortlist of cities invited to develop full bids.

‘We want you to see firsthand the positive impact a creative community can have, not just professionally but beyond work too.’

It has been a tough year for creative businesses, but Bristol Creative Industries members have achieved many great things in 2025. We wanted to celebrate those achievements and asked the community to tell us what they’ve got up up in the last 12 months plus their plans for 2026. We had a fantastic response from 39 members!

NABS’ biggest achievement in 2025 was launching the Yay List, this year’s industry list to be on.

The Yay List, in partnership with Campaign, celebrates the fantastic donors who power NABS’s purpose: to advance the mental wellness of everybody working in adland. This is the first year that we’ve run the Yay List, and our donors joined in enthusiastically, helping us to create a list that has the feelgood factor with a serious message behind it. NABS is funded entirely by the industry alone, and we cannot exist without your support.

Our key ambition for next year is to help even more people, thousands of adlanders come to us each year, by working with the industry to raise funds and awareness of our vital cause.

And that trepidation was founded; it’s been incredibly challenging for everyone.

But we’ve also seen many of those same faces come through our doors, working on everything from TV commercials to podcasts, showcasing the talent that Bristol has to offer.

We’ve hosted and worked on productions for Dyson, ITV, Bolney Wine, Heineken, Uniqlo, MGM and Hasbro amongst many other clients, partners and friends.

Our studio’s birthday party in July saw many of these come together to chew the fat and celebrate.

Probably the same uncertainty, scope creeps, strained budgets and stretched pipelines.

But with it? Also the same creativity, collaboration, resilience and downright graft that’s seen us through 2025, I’m sure.

In 2025, Atomic Smash celebrated its 15th birthday, a huge milestone that gave us space to reflect on how far we’ve come from a 2 person studio to a specialist WordPress team partnering long term with ambitious organisations. Our biggest achievement this year has been deepening those partnerships: helping clients continuously improve their digital products rather than treating websites as one-off projects.

In 2026, our ambition is to push that even further, investing more in wider performance services, growing our team, and measuring our impact not just in launches, but in the real-world results our clients see over time.

This year has been a huge year for Aer Studios, with plenty of exciting developments. As a company we have both grown and grown up, with a newly appointed leadership team driving the future direction of the business. We’ve branched into new sectors, launched the first Aer Venture Studios product and broadened our consultancy credentials with existing and new clients.

A highlight of 2025 was being a key sponsor of the inaugural BTF+ in October, where we continued our partnership with Bristol Creative Industries and TechSpark. Our collaboration at the event with Bristol-based Condense Reality and MyWorld saw the launch of a world-first proof of concept in the form of Pocket Talks, an augmented reality experience that streams live immersive 3D keynotes to your phone.

Next year we want to continue on our mission to deliver positive impact for people and planet through digital experiences. We’re hoping to partner with even more high impact organisations and to collaborate and connect with more people in the creative and tech ecosystem.

2025 has been a breakthrough year with the launch of Novera Coaching. After fifteen years in education, stepping into Bristol’s creative community has been so energising, and the perfect place to grow a people-focused coaching practice. Novera now supports entrepreneurs, creatives and career-changers to find clarity, confidence and direction in their next steps.

Joining the Bristol Creative Industries network has been a real highlight. The openness, support and conversations I’ve had this year have shaped Novera more than I expected.

In 2026 I simply aim to deepen these relationships, support more clients through one-to-one coaching and workshops, and contribute to the community where possible. I’m excited to see what we can build together next year!

Over a year of hard work and dedication earned us our B Corp accreditation in November 2025. This was a defining moment that reflects our commitment to balancing people, planet and profit.

We promoted Laura Lear to Managing Director at a time when we are increasing our leadership in AI and rolled out an ongoing AI training and development programme that equips our team with future-ready skills.

We doubled down on strategic creativity, keeping a laser focus on what our clients need for impact. A core service offering was cemented in 2025 with our content and production team delivering 288 videos as part of strategic campaigns.

The areas we’ve succeeded continue to be our focus for 2026, and we’re launching a client-facing AI visibility service and continuing our investment in ethical AI adoption.

This year has been a proud one for Immersive Ideas. We celebrated our first birthday which still feels a bit mad, and our first international project went live, a family attraction in Dublin called Dream Point, it has since picked up several awards and brought new clients our way which has been a really encouraging end to the year and shows that we are creating brilliant live experiences – which is the goal.

In 2026, I want to focus on steady, sustainable growth, developing new arms of the business, building stronger partnerships with South West creatives, and expanding the internal team; exciting times ahead!

2025 was a big shift both personally and mentally, which led me to finally make the push into the freelance world. I launched Tell ’em Mo in the summer, built a full-service offering from scratch, and through consistent outreach, networking and positioning, I’ve secured a handful of clients with a growing pipeline heading into 2026.

My biggest wins have been setting up AI-driven systems to improve project delivery, bringing creative value to small businesses and founders, and sharing my wider knowledge and insights with the creative community in the South West.

I’ve laid the foundations and I hope 2026, with a full year of being self-employed, brings more momentum, long-term partnerships and sustainable growth not just for my business, but for everyone in the creative industry.

This year has undoubtedly been another tricky one to navigate, but remembering that old keys don’t open new doors pushed me to completely rewrite my own brand story — visually and narratively. It was probably the hardest creative challenge I’ve ever attempted, but also one of the proudest I’ve achieved. It reminded me how important it is to step out of your own way, reconnect with your authentic voice and allow a little vulnerability to shine through.

I’ve seen plenty of worry, concern and hesitation across the creative community and among clients, yet it’s always the bold, tenacious and determined who eventually push through.

These days it takes more effort and resilience just to stay afloat, but the small moments still matter most — the tears of joy (mostly mine), the smiles of relief and the very welcome warm hugs when a team finally finds its true voice again and feels able to express itself with honesty and heart.

This year, we’re most proud of the impact we created for our clients. It’s what we’re known for, and nothing beats working with ambitious partners who back transformational work that drives growth. Our relationships grew even stronger as we deepened category insight and built unforgettable brands together. We moved into our new Bristol studio, which helps us collaborate faster and smarter, and three major new business wins show our approach continues to resonate globally.

Our 2026 resolution: stick to what we love – grow the people who grow the work, open doors for emerging talent, and continue giving back to our clients and the creative community.

In 2025, we are most proud of strengthening relationships with our science and technology clients, partnering with them to produce highly engaging narratives that connect with audiences and attract investment.

Amongst a raft of fascinating projects, Isambard-AI, the UK’s fastest supercomputer is a major highlight, with its incredible potential to boost national innovation and global standing and generate knock-out case studies.

For 2026, we remain focused on becoming the primary creative partner for a wider range of UK technology leaders who share our vision on the critical role that consistent, inspiring communication plays in propelling the British economy and elevating the research sector worldwide.

Underlying all this is our belief that Bristol is perfectly positioned to fuse its massive talent in the tech and creative industries and truly make magic happen. A huge thank you to the BCI community for being a key player in this. Let’s keep Bristol unique, wonderful, and successful in 2026!

This year has been transformational for Rocksteady Finance (formerly CFO for Growth). We have not only continued to work with some amazing clients but also made huge strides in reflecting the business we wish to become. We have rebranded, built a new website, and expanded our team providing strong foundations as we move into 2026.

This time of year, is ideal for reflecting on the year just past and to set plans for the year ahead. Next year we plan to focus on significant growth, supporting more creative, marketing and PR agencies to make their finances work harder and more effectively for them. I won’t be doing it alone, as noted in my latest blog article, setting your plans and finances should be a team sport. We look forward to connecting with you.

2025 was the year Floresco launched. Since opening our doors in April, we’ve welcomed our first team member, moved into our Bath office, and laid the foundations for a strong start to 2026. And the outlook is already very positive. Our team is expanding again in January – which we can’t wait for – and we’re gearing up to launch a new service that will bring something fresh, creative and strategic to the South West’s already amazing agency landscape. We’re excited to keep building an agency that’s easy and brilliant to work with, and at!

This year, our biggest achievements at Light-up Media has been maintaining business-as-usual for our clients while increasing revenue and beginning production on our first ever feature film ‘Electio’. Balancing our commercial projects with the demands of long-form storytelling is something we’re incredibly proud of, especially the growth, resilience and creativity it reflects.

In 2026, our ambition is to complete and launch the feature film and continue elevating the quality and impact of the work we produce for our clients. We’re focused on strengthening partnerships within the creative community and pushing our craft even further.

This year had its challenges, but it also felt like we took some big strides forward and turned heads towards us for the right reasons.

So, it meant a great deal to become the smallest fully accredited member of West of England Mayoral Combined Authority’s Good Employment Charter earlier this year. Since then, we’ve grown as a team with Heather McKay and Ryan Devlin joining and doing incredible things.

At a time when flexible, inclusive employment is coming under pressure, it’s good to be part of a network that’s keen to make work better.

Looking ahead to next year, my resolution is to find more time to think. Those moments of clarity and inspiration felt fleeting against the daily rush. I’m keen to make time for them. It’s where the growth will come from.

After struggling for a couple of years to figure out where I wanted my career to go, I took the plunge to begin my own business in Social Media Management for hospitality establishments, as well as other businesses, and WOW am I glad I did.

I am loving every minute of helping hospitality businesses showcase their incredible food and building businesses’ on social media.

Beginning my business in mid-September, I am so happy that I already have 4 paying clients, with a few more to start in 2026. Every week I am building on my skills, as a social media manager, a content creator and a business owner (the last bit is the hardest – no one teaches you how to do everything by yourself!!).

A year ago I never would have imagined this is how I would be ending 2025. I have loads of ideas of where this could go, and I can’t wait to see where I will be in 5+ years time.

In 2025 Bristol Beacon celebrated a second year of re-opening in which they welcomed 500,000 visitors to 789 events including 42 conferences and significant festivals like BBC Proms and Simple Things. As the West of England’s music hub lead organisation, Bristol Beacon delivered 59,000 music lessons and ran 296 workshops with early years, families, elders and community groups, and supported 270+ emerging artists, creatives and industry professionals through networking, events and 1-1 support. And audiences are having a blast, with an average rating of 4.6/5 for the year.

Next year, the Beacon looks forward to building on the foundations of the success of the first two years of opening, playing host to major tours by the likes of Lily Allen, Suede and Bristol’s own Tricky, the return of BBC Proms for a third year, and the launch of major new projects that will grow new skills and deepen musical connection between communities across the West of England.

Loom Digital’s biggest achievement this year has been welcoming 22 new clients. Even in a tricky economic climate, their trust reflects a wider shift – businesses are turning to digital expertise to navigate a fast-moving landscape and make sense of constant change.

This growth is a testament to the team at Loom. Our commitment to learning, adapting and collaborating has helped clients cut through an increasingly competitive space; where in-house specialists, freelancers, agencies and AI all vie for attention. Our strength lies in listening carefully to each business’s challenges and applying the right expertise to move our client’s forward.

We’re also equally proud of the type of organisations we’ve partnered with this year, including fellow B Corps and value-aligned brands.

For 2026, our focus is clear: deepen partnerships, continue raising the bar on digital expertise and champion sustainable, measurable growth for every client.

2025 has been a huge year for Burleigh, and picking one standout achievement feels impossible. We completed a major restructure, with me joining Fraser Ebbs as a shareholder and director. We refreshed our positioning and reclaimed our heritage as Bristol’s oldest design agency, established in 1895. We reshaped our offer and have built an agile, experienced team that we think reflects how clients genuinely want to work today. We even brought the business back to Bristol, and somehow managed to keep delivering great client work throughout all this change.

Looking ahead to 2026, our ambitions are simple: build on what we’ve (re!) started, meet new clients who genuinely align with what we do and make sure Burleigh is a place where good people can do their best work – and enjoy doing it.

2025 was my year of ‘the other AI’- embracing ancient, artistic intelligence with pen and paper to visualise transformation. I crafted large graphic recordings for global engineering firms like Bristol’s GKN Aerospace. In 2026, I’m looking forward to growing visual facilitation workshops, unlocking creativity in teams.

It’s been a tough year in creative industries and we’ve had some challenging times but we’ve also had some big achievements at Gather Round.

In March, we opened our third coworking space for creatives, Trinity, in central Bath (on Queen Square). Launching with 80 members signed up, a community from day one.

We won a Sparkles Award for our series of free events for the local creative community – Gather Round Presents (the next one is on 22nd January so watch this space!).

But more importantly our creative community has thrived. We’ve seen members collabing at each location every week. Some are one off projects and others are long term partnerships still flourishing today.

In 2026 we have even more exciting new ‘members only’ events coming up plus our Gather Round Presents series continues for its third year running. Sign up to our newsletter for an invite to our free events.

We were so excited to have won the Agency Award at this year’s Creative Bath Awards! This recognition means so much to us because it comes from the incredible creative community that we’re so proud to be part of. It’s a real honour to see our work and dedication acknowledged among such inspiring talent. Moments like these remind us why we love what we do and motivate us to keep pushing boundaries for our clients.

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, we’ve already started preparations for a major milestone: our 10-year anniversary celebration next year! It’s hard to believe a decade has flown by, and we can’t wait to mark the occasion with our amazing team, clients, and supporters.

This year at Mostly Media I am most proud of our winning some pretty major media accounts, especially Truespeed and Ecotricity. It has been a good momentum for the business, and it says a lot that we have been able to keep building the team during a tough economic period.

At Shaped By, we’ve always believed in the power of bold strategy and well-crafted expression. Right now, we’re riding a wave of momentum that is bucking industry trends, driven by the clients we work with, and the ambition we’ve set for ourselves.

What’s fuelling our growth?

Our clients are high-growth tech companies. They are growing fast with some building categories as they go, and others challenging them. New entrants are often popping up nipping at their ankles, and some go from seed stage to billion-dollar valuation in just a few years.

It’s exciting, but it’s also a fight for relevance. They need people who can help them stand out, shape their market, and say something only they can say.

We are helping global brands find their bold voice, sharpen their positioning, and express what makes them genuinely different. Whether they’re a challenger brand needing to find their “je ne sais quoi” or an established company looking to rediscover it. That’s our space. That’s what we’re built for.

Welcoming eight new Shape-lings

To meet the opportunity ahead, we’ve grown our team welcoming eight new Shape-lings to the team in the last 6 months. Each one adds a different kind of firepower, strengthening the work we can deliver and the relationships we build. Reinforcing our position as a unique creative force in Bristol.

Amplifying our voice worldwide: Betty Dartois-Vanneck, who joined our Marketing team.

See what’s next for Shaped By from our founder, Nick Farrar

Our success today is the direct result of a bold choice we made in 2021 – the strategic rebrand from Workbrands to Shaped By. This was more than just a new name, it was a commitment to focusing on a new market and audience – high-growth tech companies largely based in Silicon Valley.

To meet that challenge, we invested heavily. Putting significant capital into people, and increasing our marketing and sales budgets. We’re really seeing the fruits of our labour. Strong improvements in our marketing ROI, has encouraged us to invest further. Plans are now underway to expand our growth team and introduce a new business model that will deliver better, more exciting, projects to our incredible client services and creative teams.

I’m a firm believer that agency growth is something every single person contributes to, and this collective effort has given us the foundation to build our reputation and an ever-stronger client base.

The future ambition for Shaped By is clear. We’ll continue to deliver projects that have a real, strategic impact on some of the world’s most innovative companies. While our current success is largely focused on North America, we’re confident in our ability to stretch our services to new markets across Europe and Asia.

Ultimately, we are only as strong as the team we have working for us. I’m incredibly proud to have attracted and maintained such a talented group of people. I’m committed to being a genuine agency of choice for talent in Bristol – investing in and training our team to be the best that they can be. I’m genuinely excited about our progress and the ambitious next steps we’re planning to take.

We have a brand new shiny website on the horizon and will be advertising further positions soon as we continue to grow our team built for global impact, from our very local Bristol studio.

Thanks to all the love and support from our amazing community, we have been named the 8th best workspace in the UK by the 2025 Tallys, and the highest ranked workspace in the South West.

All there is to say is thank you. To our members, our supporters, our incredible team, and to everyone who makes Square Works what it is.

When we started Square Works way back in 2019, we could never have imagined the amazing community we would build over the years – to be ranked so highly amongst many other incredible workspaces across the country is a privilege, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

To find out more about The Tallys and why Square Works has been ranked #8 in the UK, click the link below.

Here are 10 things you might not (but definitely should) know about Square Works…

1. Square Works is housed in a Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse

Square Works is tucked inside a beautifully preserved Georgian building on Berkeley Square – one of Clifton’s most iconic addresses. From the outside, it’s all Bristolian charm; inside, it’s a thoughtfully designed, modern workspace filled with art, natural light, and sleek interiors that blend heritage with contemporary flair.

2. It’s the only co-working space in Bristol with a private members’ club

Square Works is part of The Square Club, a private members’ club for creatives and professionals. This unique connection gives you access to exclusive events, industry talks, and a stylish bar and restaurant. Even better? You can order restaurant-quality food and have it delivered right to your desk.

3. You can work from a ‘Secret Garden’

Hidden behind The Square Club is a tranquil terrace that’s the perfect spot for a quiet call, an al fresco meeting, or just soaking up the sun with your laptop and a coffee in hand.

4. The events calendar is packed – and many are free for members

From creative breakfasts to pitch nights and Friday Pilates, Square Works hosts regular events to help members connect, grow, and get inspired. It’s networking without the awkwardness – and you never know who you’ll meet over coffee.

5. Members get 24/7 access — yes, even on Sundays

If you have an office or a Dedicated Desk at Square Works, you’re not limited to the standard 9 – 5. Whether you prefer early mornings or late nights, you gain access 24/7 so you can work when it suits you – even on weekends and Bank Holidays.

6. There’s a curated art collection

Art is part of the Square Works experience. You’ll find pieces from local and UK-based artists throughout the space – creating an inspiring, gallery-like atmosphere. Plus, head next door to The Square Club for the latest seasonal installations.

7. Memberships are built for flexibility

Whether you’re a freelancer, founder, or part of a growing team, Square Works has an option for you – from hot desking to private offices. You can scale up, scale down, or shift between spaces as your needs change, without being locked into a long-term lease.

8. Unlimited refreshments and weekly ‘Square Works Nibbles’

Members enjoy unlimited, high-quality coffee, tea, hot chocolate and more. But the real treat? Every Wednesday, the in-house chef surprises members with freshly made sweet or savoury bites. It’s the perfect midweek pick-me-up.

9. Dog-friendly work space

Square Works welcomes well-behaved dogs – because work is better with a furry friend nearby. It adds to the relaxed, homely atmosphere and means you don’t have to leave your pup behind when you’re working long hours.

10. It’s a true community – not just a desk

What sets Square Works apart is the atmosphere. Whether you’re chatting in the kitchen, attending an event, or collaborating on a project, you’re not just renting a desk – you’re joining a supportive, inspiring community of creatives, professionals, and entrepreneurs.
