The New Business Problem: Winning work when AI makes every agency look competent

AI has made every agency look good. Decks are sharper, proposals are faster, output is cleaner, and the average standard of work in the market has risen fast. That's a problem, because the things agencies have historically won on- responsiveness, quality, being nice to work with- are now table stakes and increasingly automated.

Bristol Creative Industries and GYDA are hosting a dinner on 19th November 2026 at Hotel du Vin, Bristol City Centre, where Janusz Stabik will argue that only two things now decide whether an agency grows or gets squeezed:

Edge: whether the market can tell you apart from the twelve agencies pitching alongside you
Demand: whether work comes looking for you, or you have to go hunting for every pound of it

Join us to discuss commercial exposure, positioning and sales efficacy over a beautiful Hotel du Vin three-course dinner with twenty other agency leaders sharing where their own new business actually comes from, what happens to that engine over the next 24 months, and what to do about it.
