Clubhouse is the up-and-coming social media platform that’s taking the world by storm. Launched only last year, the social network is seeing exponential growth having gone from 200k users in December 2020 to 6m users now including the likes of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Social media expert Drew Benvie will be joining us on 2nd March (1-2pm) to look at this fast-growing social network and the opportunity it presents as a media platform. The session will include techniques to maximise the impact from Clubhouse for brand communications, the technicalities of getting yourself set up and growing your profile, and creating an authentic voice on the latest must-have social network, who’s influential and how to best get involved.
Drew is host of the daily show Clubhouse, Trending, and founder and CEO of social media consultancy Battenhall. A TEDx speaker, researcher and lecturer on the topic of social media in communications, Drew advises organisations globally on brand building, reputation management and social media strategy. Battenhall has been named 15x ‘consultancy of the year’ in seven years, and Drew has been named the industry’s #1 consultant by NMA. He is a PR Week Powerbook member and received the PRCA’s outstanding contribution to digital communications in the UK in 2020.

Talk
Is your crisis plan up to scratch? Hear journalist Andrew Lynch talk through some of the worst crisis strategies he’s seen when breaking major news stories during 40 years at national and international newsdesks.
This May, we will be joined by seasoned journalist Andrew Lynch, who has served at the likes of the Bristol Evening Post, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Sunday Telegraph, and The Daily Mail, and The Sunday Times.
From working as a night editor during the London Bridge attack, to deputy night editor during the Hong Kong handover ceremony, he is perfectly positioned to explain the process a journalist takes when investigating a story, what is helpful to know from PRs, and what not to do.
Join us for a relaxed 90 minutes of good food, good vibes, and good company, all topped off with critical insight on crisis communications and what you need to do to ensure your strategy is foolproof. Andrew will break down some of the worst crisis responses he’s seen, and what PR professionals can learn from them.

Calling all aspiring creatives! Ready to level up your creative portfolio?
We’re hosting an evening of portfolio reviews at our Bristol studio.
This is an opportunity to meet like-minded people, get real feedback on your creative tinkerings & ask any burning questions to a team of working designers who’ve been where you are.
What to expect:
You’ll rotate through quickfire reviews with our team – Motion Designers, Graphic Designers, Copywriters, Art Directors, and more – and leave with fresh perspectives and practical feedback.
There’ll also be time to mingle with other creatives, chat to the Shaped By team over drinks and snacks.
What we’re looking for:
This night’s for anyone with creative energy and something to share. Whether you’re self-taught, switching things up, or fresh out of uni.
To apply, just:
• Be 18 or over
• Tell us why you’d like to come
• Share at least three pieces of work (digital or printed – finished or in progress, all good)
We’re not expecting perfection. So whether it’s a fully-fledged project, a work-in-progress, or even just initial concepts, we care how you think!
