Bonded Festival of Connection
The Bonded ‘Festival of Connection’ (first edition) is a 6 month long multichannel festival, starting in October 2021.
The festival celebrates authentic human connection in business, taking the form of a series of online content streams, offline events and experiences, that seek to explore the unique and powerful bond that can, and should, exist between brand communicators, brand owners and brand audiences. Sign up below to receive regular updates on the Bonded Festival of Connection

Succeeding in business is all about making connections.
In the end, life and business are about human connections.
Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.
Creating Connections is more important than getting attention.
There is a depth in life that only comes from our connection to other people.
Connection is everything; only truly connected brands can maximise. Through connection we have the power to change lives.
Festival Content
At the heart of the festival will be our Bonded Connect content – regular posted content exploring the power of connection, hosted across our Bonded blog and social media channels – including our weekly vodcast, our new podcast channel and our regular posts across Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
