The Book Club will be headlining at Mr Wolfs with two more UWE based bands supporting!
All Indie/alternatice inspired, this gig is shaping to be unmissable!
Tickets can be bought online for £4 (not including booking fees) or on the door for £5.
Brands today are being held accountable for their marketing and being cancelled can have negative consequences.
In this session, Joyann will show you how to avoid using token diversity in your campaigns and teach you how to create authentic personas which truly reflect your audience.
Using real world examples from both questionable and good campaigns such as Pepsi’s 2017 promotion featuring Kendall Jenner and Gillette’s ‘First Shave’ ad (can you guess which is the questionable example?!), Joyann will demonstrate how you can be part of the movement for inclusive marketing.
Jam-packed with tips and tools to help you create inclusive and accessible content for your audience, this session is perfect for both content creators and marketing managers who are responsible for the overall strategy of their brand.
Tickets: £12.45
At TMW, we’re all about staying curious. We like to actively seek out the new and unusual to find inspiration wherever we can.
That’s why we’re sending our Social & Influence Director and Strategy Director to South by South West in Austin, Texas – so that they can uncover the latest and most important trends at the world’s biggest knowledge sharing festival. Once they’re home, they’ll be sharing what they’ve seen and learned to a live audience, right here in Bristol.
What will they report back? Well, it’s too soon to say, but expect to hear the rootin’-tootin’ latest from the cutting edge in marketing, technology, culture and everything else in between.
When we returned from the last SXSW all the way back in 2019, we were most struck by how the conversation had shifted from revering tech to fearing it, with big corporations coming under mounting pressure over their ethical practices.
In the 3 years since, there’s been a pandemic, a new President, a Facebook rebrand and a whole new web has developed – so to say there’s going to be a lot of new ground to cover is probably an understatement.
This is our first in-person in over two years so we’re very excited. Expect drinks, canapés and fun for all.

This spring, London based 7-piece festival favourites Cable Street Collective are embarking on a mini-tour, with shows in Cornwall, Wales, Bristol and their native London, among others. Taking a break from recording their latest album, the band will be road-testing new material as part of their set of African-influenced, alt-pop bangers.
Despite the lingering influence of Covid lockdowns on live music last summer, Cable Street Collective played a near-full summer of festivals, with slots at Latitude, Underneath the Stars, Altitude Festival and Elderflower Fields, to name a few.
The band has been a fixture on the festival circuit since the release of their first EP in 2014, and have since built up a stellar reputation as a live band, with shows Glastonbury, Shambala, Boomtown, The Isle of Wight Festival, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, and the Lake of Stars Festival (Malawi). Their second EP, Where Now From Here? (2018) earned them critical plaudits and radio play on BBC Radio 6Music, Radio X and Amazing Radio, among others.
Cable Street Collective are currently recording their debut album, due out in spring 2022. Current releases such as The Wolf (Nov 2021) and Bells & Whistles (March 2021) are favourites of BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson.
Support from Rising pop star Tessa King inspired by Dua Lipa, Corinne Bailey Rae and Joy Crookes
Born and raised in East London, British Ghanaian Kwadwo Adu Genfi Amponsah aka Kojey Radical is often described as a “renaissance man”. At 29 years old, he is at the forefront of a generation of young British artists who have pushed underground Black music into the mainstream over the last few years through a series of acclaimed, ambitious EPs and collaborations with the likes of Mahalia, Loyle Carner, Ghetts, Shy FX, AJ Tracey, Swindle, Wretch32 and MJ Cole.
Currently gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated debut album Reason To Smile, Kojey Radical embodies everything that makes an artist truly exciting in 2022; he’s an authentic and uncompromising creative force, constantly evolving and blurring boundaries as he moves from rap, funk, spoken word and poetry to fashion, art and film with an almost effortless fluidity.
Ahead of his hotly-anticipated album release on 4 March, join Kojey Radical in conversation with Darryl Yankah as they discuss Kojey’s artistic journey, and how his cultural life has shaped his own personal wellbeing and development as one of the UK’s most exciting artists. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
