Inspiring session from @wafer_grainne on the huge advancements Diageo are making in gender balance portrayal in advertising. Brilliant initiative from IAPI 👏 #FemaleFuturesFund #IWD

International Women’s Day is this Sunday, so with our #IWD partner EVOKE we just launched the #FemaleFuturesFund - a new bursary, kindly sponsored by Diageo Ireland to fund a first-class executive coaching programme for women in #advertising. Apply at iapi.ie/FFF

Int Womens day 08/03 is about accelerating gender equality, improving the lives of women universally, be they impoverished, enslaved, denied access to education, reproductive rights, or just told they are not good enough. #getwomenintheroom. .

Thanks Tesco Ireland Rothco lonely for recognising Irish trailblazers paving the way for women in the workplace on #InternationalWomensDay but we’d love it more if it had a woman centred production team #hirewomen #womenmakeads #placeatthepitchtable youtube.com/watch?v=t7MMyW…

Let's get this conversation going, so that we can finally start implementing meaningful change. #getwomenintheroom #womeninadvertising Women in Film & TV Ireland @womenmakeads

On #internationalwomensday we've counted 161 male directors listed on the websites of Irish advertising production companies and only 16 women - less than 10%. How can we change this? #getwomenintheroom #eachforequal #hirewomen

Many of the female directors who are listed on the websites of Irish advertising production companies didn't direct any TV commercials in 2019 and didn't get to pitch to agencies once. #getwomenintheroom #eachforequal #hirewomen

Things are progressing in the background and we’ll update everyone here soon. Lots of discussions happening and positive suggestions for opportunities for female directors. Join our mailing list at womenmakeads.com
