FOOD FOR THOUGHT

There are two things we love at McCann Bristol: good ideas and good food. And now we’re combining the best of both in Food for Thought. This tasty series of events will bring the finest marketing minds in the South West together to discuss the issues we’re all facing over a fine meal.

It’ll be a feast of different formats. An intimate round-table supper club where we can chew over the detail of a particular issue. A walking tour of new Bristol eateries that lets us share a taste of what’s on our minds. Or a breakfast seminar with inspiring speakers to whet our appetite for the day ahead.

After each session, we’ll create a white paper to share with a wider audience, giving more people the chance to digest what we’ve learned. And of course, all contributors will be fully credited, as we want to build the reputation of a community of like-minded people that are demonstrating the best the South-West has to offer.

If you’d like to receive the white papers once they’re written, register your interest on the links below.

Our next event

SPRING 2024

Be more challenger

2024 could well be the year of the challenger brand. People are stopping and thinking about their purchase decisions more than ever before. And if brand loyalty isn’t as strong a force as it used to be, what opportunities does this present?

We’ll explore what it means to be a challenger brand in today’s world, and examine the ways the landscape has evolved across a variety of categories. With the South West’s finest marketers exploring the issues from multiple perspectives over the dinner table, we’re expecting a thought-provoking discussion – perhaps even leading to a challenger perspective on the seminal work in this area, Eating the Big Fish.
