Me, in a thousand words: 🤡

SHECD started when a few of us looked around and wondered why women in creative leadership was such a scarcity.
This initiative starting with ongoing communication with women in the Ogilvy creative department, through to a combination of formal and informal events.

While on the Ogilvy Next Gen committee, we did a LOT, including:

-       We developed and implemented a new identity for Ogilvy Next Gen (formerly Young Turks), including core pillars and mission statement

-       Launching New Starter Breakfasts with our executive committee

-        ‘Ask Me Anything’ panels with our senior leadership team, where junior staff can anonymously ask any  business question – including tough questions about hiring, business decisions, remuneration and more

-       An Aboriginal Cultural Tour to learn the significance of the land we work on

-       A mentorship panel event for junior & mid-weight staff

-       An Art Auction fundraiser for the whole agency. We brought back some of the organic creativity we lost during long WFH periods, where staff created and actioned-off their art with proceeds going to The Song Room, raising over $1.3k
