The 2025 NO BS Media Summit

THE 2025 NO BS MEDIA SUMMIT with Fiona Scott of Scott Media

An extraordinary opportunity to spend time with five qualified and established journalists working in the media today!

These writers and broadcasters cover business and lifestyle stories across local, regional, national and international press. To be able to listen to, learn from and network with journalists active in the modern media is rare.

Join us and learn from:

Samantha Brick – writer, broadcaster and award-winning producer and television director. Her first person work for British newspapers has gone global and, at times viral, and in 2012 Google statistics revealed she was more searched than Kate Middleton, now known as the Princess of Wales.

Matt Barbour  – another award-winning journalist who writes health and real-life features for national newspapers and magazines. Starting off at The Times as a business correspondent, he moved to Australia and became an editor on Men’s Health Magazine before returning to the UK.

Anita Jaynes – founder of The Business Exchange South West –

an independent business-to-business publishing company covering Bath & Somerset and Swindon & Wiltshire. In 2022, Anita was named by f:Entrepreneur as one of the UK’s most inspirational female entrepreneurs.

Dan Martin – a freelance business journalist who has interviewed some of the biggest names in entrepreneurship including Sir Richard Branson and Deborah Meaden.  Away from covering small businesses, Dan runs Lifestyle District, a Bristol-based arts and culture blog, with his partner Nina.
