Bristol Media is one of the biggest creative networks in the UK. We are an industry led organisation, whose primary role is to deliver projects, events and opportunties for our 500 strong paying membership (January 2011).

Our wider mission is to help support, develop and grow an exciting and competitive creative/media community in the city.

We have 4 core priorities for the next 2 years (2009 – 2011)

1. Increase the visibility of our creative companies and people to a national and international audience as part of an ambitious and innovative sector with a ‘can do’ enterprising attitude.

2. Develop industry inspired initiatives to retain and attract creative staff by developing training, skills and enterprise opportunities to further strengthen the creative gene pool.

3. Foster a sense of community by sharing knowledge, sector insight and personal experience.

4. Represent sector and industry interests to policy makers and opinion formers by lobbying local, regional and national government around the importance and value of retaining and growing a vibrant creative sector within the city.
