BIMA Blog

2007 is the year for startups, networking, collaboration and of course BIMA to raise its voice to help deliver new and exciting benefits which are exclusive to members.

I should know about the networking side of things, I’m a networking slut of late – as seen on Channel 4 news recently. So, I’d like to ensure BIMA is at the heart of the hot collaboration that’s hitting London village by storm, whilst ensuring other parts of the country benefit from equally compelling opportunities to meet likeminded people and potential partners/clients.

Julie Lane, European Sales and Marketing Director for Lbi (one of the biggest agencies in Europe) and Executive of BIMA, is our networking events group Chair. We’re holding our first meeting this evening in a private club called Hedges and Butler to discuss potential speakers, audiences and for the first time ever, potential sponsors.

Our first partnership for events will be with Internet People. We’ve supported Robert Loch’s last two Creative Out events which were very successful and attracted great numbers from BIMA membership. To further cement the relationship, whilst maximising the full potential of our contacts list, we are about to launch a brand new monthly networking event. This one in particular is to get the crème de le crème of the industry together in a private club to mingle over a glass (or many) of wine.

• So, get in touch if you’d like to be a speaker, or you would like to make a recommendation.
• If you have some ideas about potential events that you think are missing in the industry please let me know and I’ll take it to the team.
• If you’d like to raise your brand awareness through sponsorship amongst agencies and/or brands then get in touch for advanced notification of upcoming events.
