At TMW Unlimited, one of our core agency values is Stay Curious. That means we actively seek out the new and the unusual, finding inspiration everywhere in the world around us.
There’s no better place to uncover what might be about to shape change than SXSW, the world’s largest knowledge sharing festival. That’s why we’re sending our strategy team to Austin, Texas: to get to grips with the cutting edge in tech, social media, politics and anything that might be key to determining our future.
When they return, they’ll be sharing their findings, and analysing what that could mean for people, brands and society.
What exactly will that include? Well, it’s too soon to say. Last year, we heard about everything from the reality of NFTs and freedom of speech, to the rise of sex tech and whether eating insects might be key to a sustainable future.
Expect to hear the weird, the wonderful, the terrifying, and the optimistic – all wrapped into one event. Plus some drinks and nibbles too.

F**kUp Nights Bristol
18:00
-21:00
The Square Club, 15 Berkeley Square, Bristol, BS8 1HB
Networking
Most people fuck up at some point…and nearly everyone lives to tell the tale.
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. The event has been running in Bristol since 2023.
Events across the globe get three or four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup/mistake. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, stories like these will all be told.
~~~
At this event we will have three fabulous speakers who are going to share their mistakes. No happy ending for any of these three stories!
Hanna Mepstead – was entrusted with the care of a politician’s daughter – and managed to lose her in London!
Steven Adjei – Steven will share his stories of a failed business, bankruptcy, and moral struggles!
Owen Jones & Fiona Graham will discuss nearly losing a key client following a rebrand.
~~~
Hanna’s story is just one of the stories from her time as a celebrity’s PA. You might find out which one ‘on the night’!
In addition, Steven will tell us how he got duped out of hundreds of thousands of pounds in three continents!
Lastly, what do you do when a premium client hates your rebrand? Fiona from Devonia and brand consultant Owen reflect on a potentially catastrophic oversight.
~~~
Let’s change the narrative, let’s #ShareTheFailure and learn from it.
