Consumer Socials: Using TV to grow your brand

Join us for the next of our Consumer Socials events. These sessions bring together early‑stage and scaling consumer-focessed founders to hear real stories, swap insights, and build a supportive community.

This edition, hosted with UKTV Ventures, is designed especially for founders who aren’t yet thinking about TV or who assume it’s “too big,” “too expensive,” or “not for us.” We’ll break down what TV can offer modern consumer brands—and why it’s more accessible than many people think.

We’ll also introduce media‑for‑equity, an alternative investment model that helps founders access TV exposure without the large upfront costs typically associated with advertising—ideal for brands still in early growth mode.

Our keynote guest is Rutger Bruining, CEO and Founder of StoryTerrace, who will share how he built his business and what he learned about using TV as part of a broader growth strategy. Expect honest insights, practical takeaways, and a chance to ask your own questions.
