Which membership is right for me?
Membership is split into three categories: business, individual and student. Each comes with its own benefits and every member enjoys our local perks. When you create your profile, it’ll be visibly tagged according to your tier, so choosing the right membership is important to secure profitable connections and work opportunities. We also welcome partners and sponsors who support the creative industries – contact us if this sounds like you.
Where does my membership fee go?
As an independent Community Interest Company, we don’t receive outside funding. The organisation is funded by three revenue streams – membership, events and advertising on our jobs board.
Our aim is to support the creative industries in the South West and provide benefits for our members and the wider community. Any profit we make goes directly back into more jobs, more connections and more kudos for our members.
What are the creative industries?
Innovation and creativity come in myriad forms. Our members are made up of those in advertising, marketing, design, digital, product, graphic, film, TV, video, radio, photography, IT, software, createch and publishing, as well as in-house marketing, comms and creative teams from a variety of industries. We also welcome those who support these industries. Find out about becoming a partner or sponsor.
Where do I need to live to join?
You or your business must be based in Bristol, Bath or the South West of England so you can support and contribute to our reputation and economy.
