Bonus Ep - Worksmith Events - Who is in control of your venue’s narrative?

We're back with our Worksmith Community talk on a topic that can make or break a business. In the ever-changing landscape of social media, we look to explore the role of journalists, PR companies and influencers within the hospitality industry - and how to equip venues to deal with them.

Is it worth playing the game of controlling your narrative? Has it already been decided for you? Can you pivot in an established business? What can you do to have a better understanding of who currently controls your narrative?

Running the show on the night is Dani Valent, one of Australia's most respected food communicators. She is a longtime freelance journalist and restaurant critic, award-winning cookbook author and host of the Dirty Linen food podcast. Dani is a frequent media commentator on hospitality issues and a leading industry advocate.

Joining her is:

James Spreadbury, a South Australian native who pursued his hospitality career with a move to Europe, where in 2009 he found himself at the renowned restaurant Noma in Copenhagen. He rose to the position of Service Director and partner, where he would play a vital role in the restaurant's growth and evolution.

Roslyn Grundy, a writer who has been writing about food for more than two decades. Currently deputy editor of Good Food in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Roslyn is a former editor of Victoria’s restaurant bible, The Age Good Food Guide, and when she’s not eating out for work, she’s eating out for fun.
