Join us in person or online at this free MyWorld and BVI event to hear Michael Pitts, Emmy award winner with over 30 years’ experience as a cinematographer and film producer deliver this hybrid talk.

Since July 2019 I have been organising a monthly Meetup for BD people in Bristol… it’s a great mix of in-house BD people, business owners responsible for BD, independent consultants, and suppliers of BD related services.
It all started as a solution to the problem of BD being quite a lonely profession, but has become a great resource for learning and collaborating too.
The format is a ’round table’ type discussion, where everyone can contribute, with a maximum number of 15 people attending any given event.
The subject matter is always BD related, and based on the format there is no ‘selling’ or ‘presenting’, just honest discussion and debate and sharing of knowledge.
The events are held online at 9am on the second Wednesday of the month (follow the Eventbrite link below to see more dates).

Few would disagree that emotion is crucial in building strong relationships between brands and people – however, building brands for the unconscious is still a challenge. Therefore, in order to measure emotions effectively, it is important for marketers and researchers to equip themselves with the latest evidence from neuroscience research.
Join Andy Myers in this whirlwind of a session, as we look at how neuroscience has opened a new frontier of how we understand human decision making. Exploring a range of bitesize cases where neuroscience has been applied, we will spark new ways arrive at compelling human insights across different brands and categories, providing for each of them a specific action/takeaway. In this way, we will translate the science into actionable insights that can leverage your brand and get closer to people. Your audience will not be bamboozled by science, but presented in an engaging and digestible format. Subsequently, your audience will not only be left inspired by what neuroscience has taught us, but these unique insights will be the sparks to drive new and exciting thinking.
This session will benefit anyone who works in marketing, comms, digital, branding, brand managers, insights, planning, and more!
