The Gloucestershire Media Group supports the development, integration, and expansion of both media companies and freelancers within Gloucestershire. Our activities include: organising membership events, weekly e-bulletins, business development and delivering training initiatives. The GMG is an independent not-for- profit company managed by a board of local industry representatives.
GMG EVENTS AND NETWORKING
Monthly networking events are a key element of The GMG’s activity and provide opportunities for members to interact in an informal setting. One event is held per month (last Wednesday) on an industry-related topic, with quarterly meetings arranged to reach a wider audience. Highlights from previous events include Phil Erhart of Apple Europe on the future of Apple professional media software, Debbie Isitt director of Confetti and, of course, The GMG pub quiz!

TRAINING
In 2006 The GMG successfully secured significant funding from the Learning & Skills Council (through the European Social Fund) to deliver a unique training initiative for the media industry in Gloucestershire. The project, known as GMG-Train, is a partnership with Cirencester Media Academy and Gloscat Media & Arts, and will be delivering a raft of free training over the next few years. Whether you are an established freelancer looking to gain new skills, a recent graduate trying to get in to the industry or a media-business owner who is looking to grow, GMG-Train will offer something for you.
