Gender equality: time to put up or shut the **** up at Mumbrella360

The contributors to one of the hottest debates of the year on Mumbrella are to appear at next month’s Mumbrella360 conference to discuss the lack of women in senior roles in the media industry.

Southcombe

Clough

Among the panelists are Peta Southcome, marketing analytics manager at media agency Maxus, who triggered a furore in a piece – entitled Ladies could we shut the **** up? – she wrote suggesting that women should stop complaining about the lack of representation and focus on being as good as they possibly be at their jobs.

Also on the panel is Elly Michelle Clough, publicist from Belvoir Theatre, whose rebuttal – Why ladies shouldn’t shut the **** up – was also among the most commented upon of the year.
