RISE 2021: REPRESENT
Represent your perspective. Creative leadership needs diverse perspectives. Represent ALL your customers in the work. This is what outstanding creative leadership looks like in 2021. Yes, our sell-out conference is BACK - and it's online (plus you can purchase tickets in collaboration with Advertising Week Europe - yes, such a great deal!).
Insight from our Equality Standard data tells us 19% of creative directors are women (when we started it was 12%); yet 1-3% are ethnically diverse women. Year-on-year this conference is the game-changer. This day is designed to create the next generation of leaders and give you the skills, tools and know-how to rewire culture change in advertising for inclusion. We explore what makes an outstanding leader, how to have brave conversations as well as topics like 'what's do clients want in 2021?'
