Our Supper Clubs are immensely popular, consistently selling out due to their informal and relaxed atmosphere; combining inspiration, good food, and engaging conversations.  These events provide a prime opportunity for members to connect, meet new members, catch up with familiar faces and of course be inspired by an engaging speaker sharing their entrepreneurial journey.  Our speakers don’t share a ‘rose-tinted glasses’ story, they share the challenges they’ve faced along the way, as well as lessons learnt.

To kick off our Supper Club series of 2025, we’re delighted to be welcoming entrepreneur and “PR guy” David Brookes who moved to Scotland from London in 2020. He was previously the owner of Thinking Hat PR – a London agency which he founded nearly a decade ago and sold in October 2024.  At Thinking Hat, David worked with well known brands like Amazon, AWS, Deliveroo, The UN and Sony Music – to disruptive tech startups, law firms, social enterprises, B2B brands and even the infamous sex party firm Killing Kittens.

“Over the past ten years PR has completely changed in so many ways. When I started out PR was very much about media coverage – now it’s about everything from owned media (podcasts, video, websites etc) to social and even paid campaigns. The whole industry is going through a massive change and with AI that’s accelerating even more.” 

With a plethora of fantastic stories to share, as well as his own entrepreneurial journey with plenty of successes as well as his fair share of challenges, David will be an entertaining and refreshing speaker.

ABOUT DAVID (Brooky)

David is the founder of Year X Media – an Edinburgh based PR agency for founders, CEOs and visionary brands.  He has spent 20 years in the PR and Media industry working with game-changing entrepreneurs, startups, scaleups, social enterprises, thought leaders and authors.  Before founding Thinking Hat in 2016, David worked at a top 10 London PR agency where he was their first employee and went on to be Head of Entrepreneur PR.  He set up the production arm of the business in 2012 and worked across a range of content marketing and online video/PR campaigns for clients including Disney, Ann Summers, Goals, Reebok and the Mongol Rally.  He established their own content marketing and outreach strategy – increasing inbound leads by 78%.

My boss was Piers Morgan’s deputy and the former editor of the News of the World. It was an incredible baptism of fire working with him and in many ways it was a glimpse of a bygone era of PR. Loads has changed since then, but the art of being able to tell a good story is and always will be at the heart of a great PR campaign.

ABOUT SUPPER CLUBS

In Edinburgh, our Supper Clubs are held in the private dining room of the 6th floor 1820 Rooftop Bar at the Johnnie Walker Princes Street with breathtaking views of the city and access to the outdoor roof terrace.

Places are strictly limited with tickets available for members on a first come first served basis.  By keeping these events intimate, we ensure there are plenty of opportunity to ask questions as well as an open forum where all attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the emerging themes from the speaker as well as their own experiences.  Shared experiences are at the heart of WeDO, ‘individually we can be successful, together we can be extraordinary’ and Supper Clubs give us the opportunity to do just that!

Both ticket types include a 3 course dinner.  The alcoholic drinks package includes a Johnnie Walker Highball or G&T on arrival & 2 glasses of wine.  The non-alcoholic drinks package includes Seedlip (Non-alcoholic spirit) Highball & 2 soft drinks.
