Aligning BIMA’s national agenda and broad network with community leaders in key areas across the South West, from Bristol to Cornwall.
The South West has a long-standing reputation as one of the main creative and technological hubs in the UK outside of the capital, as well as a rich history in other forms of media – from television broadcasting to print.
The BIMA South West Council aims to foster a collaborative environment which brings together creatives from an array of businesses and industries across our region – from agencies to SMEs – sharing thoughts, developing ideas and supporting each other.
It’s the BIMA South West Council’s mission to work together for the betterment of our region. We’re committed to actively participating in a wide range of projects. But we aren’t just participants; we strive to be catalysts for change, driving our own initiatives to enhance the vibrancy of the areas in which we operate.
The BIMA South West Council is co-chaired by David Chandler, Joint Managing Director at Great State and Sophie Harris, Director of Business Development and Marketing at Proctor and Stevenson Limited.
Richard aka ‘Norts’ has finally accepted that he is a veteran of marketing. Starting out as a Junior Copywriter in 1994, in 2018 he chucked this in to co-found a creative cohort that harnessed AI to generate concepts, brand identity and new ways to creatively differentiate.
