One Industry One Voice launched in 2020, at a critical time for live experiences, to clearly represent all 7 core sectors and leverage the power of events to inspire, celebrate, educate, support society and grow the economy.

One Industry One Voice created #wecreateexperiences campaigns using the best content, the very latest industry data and celebrity support to create media coverage across social, regional and national media. The plan is to inspire, reassure and educate businesses, public and media on the unique power of events.

The Business events campaign launched on 7th December 2020, gaining national and regional print, broadcast and social media coverage, with its main video receiving over 400,00 views to date. Watch full video here

Now the Consumer events campaign launches on 30th March 2021 (see full campaign video above) – again we have gratefully received support from a wide range of high profile personalities that represent different types of events, including sport, music, showbiz, regional leaders and national charities.

Founding Supporters..a few of many…

One Industry One Voice

The story so far...

Preloader

In July 2020, Rick Stainton, Founder & Group Executive Director of Smyle recognised specific campaigns, associations and groups representing niche sectors of the events industry were not working together, not aligning their respective messages/data and had no mandate to fully represent or leverage the power of the wider industry.

So since August 2020, the support and has been 100%  positive and this pure decisiveness has been humbling and refreshing and hence we are on the verge of having a truly representative collective of all sizes in as many areas of the events industry as possible supporting this – from over 100 agencies+, promoters and organisers from the biggest to the smallest and 100+ venues and suppliers engaged so far (more to go), in addition to all the main industry associations that represent 1,000s of event businesses and 100,000s of event professionals – One Industry One Voice is a reality.
www.oneindustryonevoice.co.uk

The key is to ensure as equal a weighting across the different parts of the events industry as possible. Hence an overarching campaign, #wecreateexperiences, was launched under the One Industry One Voice mandate.

The Business Visits and Events Partnership (BVEP) , chaired by Simon Hughes, were approached and agreed to lead this campaign and help arrange the practical solutions required to do so.

The One Industry One Voice movement and #WeCreateExperiences campaign were conceived by Rick Stainton, executive group director at creative agency Smyle, who put the concepts forward at Mash Media’s #GetBritainMeeting summit in July and is fronted by the BVEP’s Simon Hughes.
