A creative gathering

The Creative Out networking event organised by Robert Loch went down very well again last night, with a turnout of more than 70 creative types.

Supported by BIMA, Creative Out is a cool, informal gathering of creative people from all walks of life. We had a right bag of jolly mixtures… fashion designers, poets, actors, cinematographers, Web designers and brand owners…

Some of the companies represented included MRM Worldwide, BBC Radio, Channel 4, Reactive, WDMP, French Connection, Proximity London, ITN, Rufus Leonard, Segala, McCann, Cominded and lots more.

The format is simple. It’s open mic. That means anyone can step up to the mark, take the mic, stand under the spotlight and pitch their vision/opinions on future trends within their industry, or of course any other industry. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people with the potential of striking up new partnerships and possibly even win new business!

I’m delighted to support this monthly gathering as I believe there’s an opportunity for cross pollination of talented creatives who before attending the event, may not realise the potential of working within an industry they hadn’t previously thought about.

I met quite a few BIMA members too which was great! In fact, I was amazed by the huge percentage of people who came from BIMA on such short notice.

Hope to see you at the next one! Judging by the numbers, you better book as soon as I promote it. So, why not subscribe to the blog RSS feed, or by email to ensure you keep up to date.

Thanks to pal Scott Rutherford for the photos – not bad quality considering they were taken on a mobile in the dark! I’ve uploaded the entire photo collection to flickr.
