Join BIMA’s monthly networking power hour to expand your industry knowledge and contacts.

We are delighted to welcome Beatrice Andrew, Behavioural Science Consultant & Founder of Be.a Consulting and Kian Bakhtiari, Founder of The People and both co-chairs of BIMA’s Perspective Council.

The Perspective Council is a collection of marketers, strategists, creatives and academics from across digital. We love the industry and think it can be a powerful force for good, so we have come together to champion this whilst confronting some of the less positive effects and influence digital companies, media, tools and services have on human behaviour and the world around us. During the Power Hour, we will examine, discuss and debate the impact digital media and technology has on people and society and the physiological understanding of humans. The Perspective’s Council aims to create thought-provoking points of view on the industry and engage the wider community in debate.

During the Power Hour, we will examine, discuss and debate the impact digital media and technology has on people and society. We will also discuss how we can be a part of the solution. We will deep dive into imagination and how we can shape the future. We will then break into impact-focused Q&A groups and networking.

Who is it for?

These sessions are open to everyone in the BIMA Member community, from university members to CEO’s and brand individuals. If you are seeking to network more effectively, increase your capacity, develop new capabilities, or supercharge your strategic know-how, then this is the event for you.

Co-designed and hosted by Brad Smith, Founder of Succeed, and Ann Longley, BIMA South and Something New Together, we look forward to seeing you there!
