Presenting Creative Work; a 1-day workshop with Tom Evans
BCI Workshop
Presenting creative work can be a challenge for even the most experienced creative. For those in any stage of their creative careers, this essential skill will help you get work bought time and again, both internally and externally.
Led by former TBWA ECD Tom Evans, during this 1-day virtual BCI workshop you’ll learn how to present your work persuasively to increase the odds of your ideas making it to the outside world.
It’s an ideal workshop for those looking to develop (or brush up on) skills for creative pitching, where you’ll emerge as a more confident and more competent presenter.
Alongside the theory of what to do, and not to do, you’ll put your learnings into practice and leave the session with tools to get your ideas bought, time and again.
This 1-day workshop will take place via Zoom. Places are strictly limited to 12 to ensure a productive session.
Tickets are £150+VAT for BCI members and £225+VAT for non-members.
Tom’s background is leadership in design and creative agencies. Having started his career with one of the world’s first digital specialists, AMX Digital, Tom founded Mook in 2000. Over the next 10 years, Tom grew Mook seeing it through to acquisition, first by advertising agency Nitro and then later by the huge digital agency Sapient to form SapientNitro (eventually acquired by Publicis). After a brief stint in fashion on the board of Jack Wills as Brand Comms Director, he returned to agency land as Executive Creative Director of Omnicom owned advertising agency TBWA London. In parallel to his work in design and technology, Tom also founded BleepBleeps, an award-winning hardware startup creating internet connected consumer electronics and digital services that make parenting easier.

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!
