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 BBQ in partnership with Aardman, our friends and neighbours, with inspiring speakers to fuel our appetites.

After each session, we’ll create a film 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.

Our events are closed events but do get in touch if you would like to partner up with us or have any questions.

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?
