Bristol’s agency economy: The trends, challenges and opportunities
BCI Webinar
Join us for an exclusive webinar with Tom Salmon, Founder of Agency by Agency, the specialist business dedicated to helping agencies better understand the sector they operate in.
Drawing on findings from The Atlas, Agency by Agency’s landmark study of the UK agency market, covering nearly 25,000 agencies, 194,000 people and £33bn in turnover, Tom will explore the trends reshaping the industry, from slowing agency formation to the growing divide between different parts of the agency economy.
He’ll then turn the spotlight on Bristol, revealing why the city is one of the UK’s most productive and fastest-growing agency hubs. Despite ranking as the UK’s fifth-largest agency cluster and outperforming many rivals on productivity and growth, Bristol continues to attract relatively little investment.
Expect robust data, honest analysis and practical takeaways for agency leaders looking to understand where the market is heading and where Bristol’s greatest opportunities lie.
