We are very excited to announce that we are supporting Ida XR Studio to host their second Bristol meet up on Wednesday 23 September at University of Bristol's Creative Innovation Hub The Sheds.
This meet up will be a mixture of a workshop and a network gathering. We collectively chose to focus this session on marketing and comms as it is highlighted as a challenge by many people in the communities we support, particularly when creating Immersive XR work. It can be time consuming, can feel uncomfortable or exposing and sometimes difficult to know what to say, where and to whom.
Studio resident Jenny Grinsted (Storyteller and experienced Content Marketer for the likes of Ultraleap and Scandit) will lead this hands on workshop and explore creative storytelling methods to help you build your confidence in talking about your work to different audiences, and produce marketing materials that feel authentic to you. As well as theory, expect actual writing and drafting in this session.
Why attend?
- Be part of an open, empowering conversation on the challenges of self-marketing.
- A practical workshop with ideas to take away and build upon.
- Connect with others in the field through a relaxed, informal meet-up.
- Join a supportive community committed to championing the work of women, non-binary, trans and gender-fluid individuals in the immersive tech industry - no matter your experience level.
