Gather Round Presents O7: Building Creative Resilience in 2025

We’re bringing our free, creative community focused event series ‘Gather Round Presents’ to Trinity Church for the first time this month.

It’s safe to say, the first half of 2025 has been anything but smooth sailing. Several turbulent political events have influenced the economy with noticeable shifts in where and how businesses are focusing their time and money. In times like this, it’s vital to build resilience to keep in the game.

Some of you may notice we are revisiting a topic for this one, but it truly feels more poignant than ever. We launched Gather Round Presents back in 2024 with Building Creative Resilience and as things have shifted in 2025, we still have questions. With nervous clients wanting to spend less, do we pitch for free? How do we retain creative power? Do we need to diversify our output?

If you’ve got questions like this, we’ve got an incredible panel joining us this month who are sure to know the answers…

Jamie Ellul – Supple Studio

Jamie’s a creative powerhouse with many strings to his bow (or bass guitar, see his involvement in The SuperColours and The Mystery Callers). In the game for over 20 years, Jamie’s an award-winning graphic designer who champions the small agency set up. “With a passion for design education and promoting diversity in an industry full of white middle class blokes with beards” we can’t wait to hear Jamie’s take on this month’s topic.

Tim Miness – Osborne Pike

A 6ft 9in tower of ideas and doodles, Tim leads Osborne Pike as Creative Director from up on high. Having worked with a myriad of global brands across pretty much every aspect of the creative spectrum including illustration, experiential, packaging and even music videos – Tim’s faced a fair few challenges in his 20-year career and he’s ready to share his most useful tips & tricks.

Steven Hore – Film Director

An irrepressible film maker with an impressive list of achievements under his belt since the 00’s, Steven believes film is the most powerful medium to move people and affect change. Before striking out to make commercials and documentaries for the likes of Disney and HBO, Steven was a creative director for a large London agency. We’re excited to hear how he’s built creative resilience during the last 15 years as a freelancer in the industry.

Robin Worrall – Rednine

An OG Trinity Church member who you’ll never see absent from one of our events – Robin is an experienced Creative Director driven by people making a real difference, with an authentic and powerful story at their heart. In his own words “Change doesn’t scare me; it excites me. I thrive on exploring uncharted territory and lighting the way forward, especially in times of rapid transformation.” Get your questions ready everyone!

Kate Southerby – Creative & Leadership Coach

Our in-house creative coach and neuroscience expert, Kate can give you the tools to help you overcome mistakes, make better decisions and connect more deeply with yourself to realise your true potential.

Following the success of our previous events, we’re expecting tickets to fly out for this one.
