Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. They normally take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody who is interested in what they do. Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community, current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.

This week studio resident Andy Littledale will introduce us to his new company, Poli, and their unusual approach to political polling in a changing world.

In the post-Trump, post-truth landscape, where pollsters are being criticised for inaccurately judging the mood of a population, Andy will share some thoughts on whether political polling is still important? What is wrong with it? How could we do it differently? We have invited Andy to share with us how Bristol based startup Poli is using messaging platforms such as Facebook to improve political polling, hopefully to the benefit of us all.

The Pervasive Media Studio is located within the Watershed building. Let us know if you'd like a tour and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to studio@watershed.co.uk
