Join us at The Square Club on Thursday 17th October from 12.30-2pm. BCI’s members’ lunches are the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow members and the BCI team and, as some of our lunches are now in person again, you can enjoy a delicious Mediterranean buffet lunch too!
That was genuinely the best networking event I’ve ever been to! So many very useful connections made from the moment I walked through the door. Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere and plenty of time and space to get to know people. An all round wonderful experience, thank you BCI team for organising such a fantastic event. ~ Danie Stinchcombe, Marketing Director @ Gather Round
There’ll be plenty of opportunities to catch up with old friends and meet some new faces too. Everyone will have a 3 min slot to introduce themselves and tell the others a little about who they are and what they do and share any news and/or challenges. You don’t need to fill the three minutes but we do set a timer to make sure everyone has time to talk! We usually find some common themes emerge which we can discuss over the course of the session. It’s all very informal with no need to stand up and present slides!
The members’ lunch is much more than just pitching; it’s a shared space for connecting with your peers to discuss challenges and opportunities for collaboration, and generally celebrating the wonderfully eclectic mix of creative businesses in the region.
We see businesses of all shapes and sizes during the session. From the managing director of an established 50+ person agency to founders of innovative startups, each month we encourage a variety of members to attend. You’re more likely to meet potential partners or referrers than competitors.
If you’d like to attend email BCI’s membership manager Alli Nicholas at [email protected]. The members’ lunches tend to fill up quickly so if you miss out on this one, you’ll be top of the list for the next!
Not a member? Sign up today so you can join the lunch!
Please note, our members’ lunches are for active business and freelance members but not for student members.
Bristol Creative Industries is the membership network that supports the region's creative sector to learn, grow and connect, driven by the common belief that we can achieve more collectively than alone.
Strategic client services for growth: a workshop with Mette Davis

Kinneir Dufort, 5 Host Street, Bristol, BS1 5BU
BCI Workshop
There’s so much more to being a brilliant client services professional than responding to briefs and delivering work on time and budget. In this highly competitive industry, our value lies in the ability to become true client partners, as well as supporting other experts within our own businesses to deliver high quality, impactful work together.
This one-day interactive workshop will help participants shift from a more reactive, day-to-day account management mindset and behaviours, into a more proactive approach that drives accountability and action consistently – fuelling growth for the business. The session will be a mix of presentation, discussion, and practical exercises to put what you’ve learnt into practice.
