Friction is turning 10! We’re celebrating 10 years of hard work with an evening of ‘notworking’ outside of the office.
All Bristol creatives are invited to come along and celebrate 10 years of making films & elevating stories with us by doing what we love the most – getting outdoors on our bikes.
Everyone knows that our connection with nature and the local community is essential for wellbeing. So, take a screen break with an evening outside and unwind by sharing ideas and recharging our creativity.
The bike ride is open to all, with two routes available to accommodate for all abilities – no lycra necessary. We’ll finish up at the Wiper and True taproom for some beers (obvs).
Hop on your bikes and get involved. We’d love to see you all there – bring your work mates, bring your dog, bring your whole office!

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.

Networking
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!
