Last month, on 8th June, the first RewireLondon event took place, at Rich Mix in Shoreditch – a collaboration between Bracket and 8Fold. RewireLondon was an unconference for the creative sector, an interactive and flexible event where the attendees were the driving force. This meant that rather than curating the schedule completely with invited speakers, it was mostly left open for artists, writers, designers and other creatives to suggest and run their own sessions.

Bracket is setting up an agency that will bring together independent creatives to work together on collaborative projects for commercial clients. We are running BracketLab to kick start this – Bracket will be its own first client!
How will it work?
A team of self-employed creatives will get together w/c 31st May to brainstorm and develop ideas for an online presence and marketing campaign for Bracket. Through a mixture of face-to-face meetings, workshops and web-based communication, the team will deliver a solution by 4th June (see Social Innovation Camp, the 24 Hour Book Project and Launch 48 for similar projects).
This is part paid creative project, part workshop/learning experience/experimental lab! BracketLab will also be documented in film and image.

Bracket’s lunchtime workshop at THE CUBE was a great success, with lots of interesting discussion about effective creative collaboration using online tools. Questions were raised around approaching intellectual property and attribution, managing egos and how to encourage people to use online tools (when all they want to use is e-mail!).
Creative Boom London kindly wrote a fantastic review of the workshop which covers all of these points (and more) in detail.
