🏡Welcome to the home of The Bristol Media and Entertainment Mixer 🏡 We're on a mission to put Bristol on the map when it comes to the latest innovations in media and entertainment 📍🗺️ Why Bristol? Over the years we've watched the vibrant community of thought leaders and industry experts flourish in the Media and Entertainment realm, within Bristol's borders, but we couldn't ignore the constant exodus to London for networking and engagement. It dawned on us that there was an opportunity to foster meaningful connections right here, in our own backyard, eliminating the need for lengthy commutes and bringing our regional talents together in one vibrant hub. Our vision was brought to life in April 2024 - with our First ever mixer. We were joined by an expert panel Adam Nightingale (3SS ), Alex Wilkinson (Accedo.tv ), and Stuart Huke (24i ). With our very own Tommy Flanagan (Faultline) as moderator, putting them through their paces, breaking down front-end video experiences and what the future holds. The event didn't disappoint and was the perfect setting to lay the foundations of what will be an exciting event series. The mixer is powered by the teams at 5V Video | Certified B Corp™ and Faultline. We’re aiming to deliver an events series that is built around the content you care about. Our strict ‘Zero Bullsh*t’ policy means no sleazy sales pitches. We’re committed to creating an open environment where our members can relax, be comfortable, make valuable connections, all whilst taking in the insights from our expert panelists.

Controversial topic... 🗣 Event budgets can be a tricky topic when selecting a venue. I’ve often asked clients for their budget, only to hear, “We’re not sure. We haven’t even thought about it.” Then, when I present a proposal, they immediately say, “This is over our budget!" Clients hesitate to share their budgets for many reasons: fear of overcharging, lack of trust, negotiation tactics, and even fear of judgment. Sometimes, early on, there might not be a set budget, making it tough to give an exact figure. Fair. But in most cases, sharing your budget actually works in your favor. Here’s how sharing your budget upfront can benefit you: ✨ Tailored Proposals: Venues can provide options that perfectly match your financial goals. Even sometimes offering discounts to stay within your budget. ✨ Resource Efficiency: It helps venues use resources wisely, avoiding unnecessary costs and focusing on what matters to you. ✨ Transparent Communication: Open budget discussions foster trust and transparency, ensuring there are no surprises down the line. ✨ Enhanced Experience: When venues understand your financial limits, they can focus on enhancing the overall event experience within those boundaries. 📸: Sweets' Spot Wrap Party and Screening at The Beverly Theater by Chase Stevens #BeverlyTheater #EventPlanning #EventManagement #EventBudget #ClientTips #VenueManagement #EventProfs #LasVegas #DTLV

When I take on a venue client, I do the work. What I don't do is "farm out" elements of the brief to other agencies because I am either too lazy or too stupid to do it myself. Having too many links in the chain creates the chance of information not being passed on to the act and it also creates an extra commission thereby inflating the cost to the client.If you are a venue manager, you have every right to ensure your consultant is handling the entire account. The practice of a venue agent booking larger shows into the auditoriums of their venue clients only to engage the services of other agencies to handle the smaller "lounge" areas of the club is widespread and in my view, this should not be happening. If you want to call yourself a venue consultant, you should handle the entire brief yourself. To do otherwise is simply being lazy and your client deserves better. #venueconsultant #entertainmentindustry #clubs #directors https://lnkd.in/gap3cc7a

Founder of TopGun Media Group - OnTrade Scotland Magazine AT THE BAR Show🍸 What A Girl Wants Experience 💄 Curry Club Productions TopGun Media Ltd©️
IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE After being completely abandoned by Scottish Government in the December budget it is clear that the only people that the industry can rely on to move forward are the people in it. YOU supported by the trade bodies, brands, suppliers and us the trade press. This is a pivotal point for the industry and like a number of years ago when the industry had to adapt to the curfew, and smoking bans being put in place with the birth of hybrid venues and nightclubs evolving to entertainment venues hosting gigs and events now is the time for the industry to evolve to offer the customer AN EXPERIENCE they can’t ignore. Venues that are currently driving footfall are offering an experience Bucks Bar , Maggie’s Rock N Rodeo, Kong, Wunderbar, Radisson Red, ColdTown House, Duck & Waffle, Eden, St Luke’s & The Winged Ox the list goes on. Experience and value are how the industry move forward. We have experienced personally that this is not the attitude of some venues who continue to look only at themselves and not looking at how they can be truly collaborative and this simply can not be the case. We also need the brands and distribution to step up be more collaborative and engaging with more venues and not just the big ticket sites. This may sound like the monkey teaching the organ grinder in some’s opinion but if that’s what it takes to move the industry forward then so be it. WITHOUT CHANGE NOTHING MOVES FORWARD WITHOUT MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER NOTHING IMPROVES ONLY WE CAN TRULY HELP OURSELVES Here is to a year of change for the better of, a year where we take control of our own industry A year where we all truly stand together for the better of everyone. We look forward to supporting you in every way we can and making you proud to be part of the #ontradefamily

As the summer draws to a close and revellers hang up their wellies until 2024, we’re already busy behind the scenes planning in a calendar of campaigns to get festival goers going. Whether we’re using strategic PR to ensure that your target audience know exactly who you are (our coverage for Highest Point festival achieved a reach of over 599m, £1.5m in revenue from ticket sales and 35,000 tickets sold, more than double the previous year) or creating a fun and engaging campaign to build loyalty amongst fans (did somebody say festival scented candle…?), we know how to get people talking and ticket sales racking up. Whilst we’ve worked with some of our #festival clients year after year, each new summer brings a new set of challenges and as part of our remit, we fully immerse ourselves in our clients’ industries by attending conferences and conventions to hear direct from the stakeholders who influence the industries to ensure that our comms plans align with the wider landscape. If you’re a festival with big ambitions for 2024, we’d love to grab a coffee and chat about how we can support you - think less pitching tents and more pitching ideas 😉 To find out more about our previous work for clients including Highest Point festival and Skiddle, head to our website to read our #CaseStudies ⛺

#avproduction 🎬 This cautionary funny reel came across my IG page just in time for a very recent incident, which I'm gonna call: Painful Lesson Learned in Event Production. 🚨 Yesterday, we received a frantic call from a client who initially decided our expert event production services were outside their budget for a local hybrid event. They chose to rely on the venue's in-house equipment, operated by well-meaning but inexperienced banquet staff. The result? A near-disaster on the day of the event. Audio-visual glitches, streaming hiccups, and a disconnect between onsite and online audiences turned their important event into a stressful scramble for solutions. The Fix? Our team stepped in with just hours to spare. We brought our expertise and equipment to transform chaos into a successful, seamless experience. This incident is a powerful reminder: ✨ Expertise isn't an expense; it's an investment. ✨ When it comes to hybrid events, the blend of live and digital experiences requires skilled hands. 👉 Don't compromise on the quality of your event's production. Investing in professional expertise isn't just about avoiding problems; it's about creating memorable, impactful experiences. --- Our team at Tree-Fan Events is more than willing to chat with you about how we can ensure your next event is a resounding success, not a cautionary tale. https://lnkd.in/g5c-jnpR #EventProduction #hybridevents #events #ProfessionalExpertise #InvestInQuality #EventSuccess #eventprofs #meetingprofs

This past week's experience with a client who opted for an inexperienced and unprepared in-house event production over professional services turned into a cautionary tale. Faced with technical difficulties and a lack of expertise in handling a hybrid event, they had to call us in a panic. This incident underscores a vital lesson: Expert event production is an essential investment, not a mere expense, for the success of any hybrid event. Don't compromise on the quality of your event's production. Investing in professional expertise isn't just about avoiding problems; it's about creating memorable, impactful experiences. Let's chat about how we can ensure your next event is a resounding success, not a cautionary tale. #EventProduction #HybridEvents #ProfessionalExpertise #InvestInQuality #EventSuccess #womeninav #womeninavproductions #womenproducers

Open question to planners/promoters: Is it really necessary for an event to expand when successful? Or is it better to retain the exclusivity of a smaller event (context below) Another successful event last week, a couple of tickets shy of a sellout actually (fully tooting our horn here, the team put a lot of work into it) We were approached by a DJ afterwards singing her praises on the event, saying that we should expand into larger venues with a better headcount, increase ticket price to cover any overhead. Not sure how I feel about that, with the current set up everyone has a good time and gets paid, the venue are happy, and we're creating a space for a more dedicated following.
