‘Secret’s out’: discussion panel comments on the ShEqual survey results
In a panel discussion on the results of the ‘Perceptions of Gender Equality in Australian Advertising‘ ShEqual report, the discussion turned to the importance of male alliance and non-superficial diversity.
Participating in the discussion was OMD co-CEO Laura Nice, Clemenger BBDO CEO Jim Gall, Innocean CEO and founder of Fck the Cupcakes Jasmin Bedir and Bullfrog senior creative Katarina Matic.
The discussion panel line-up
Where is this magical agency that is all men? In my 10 year career I have only ever had 1 male boss, every interview I have ever had included both a male and female interviewer and every team has had more women then men. This might have been a problem 10 years ago, but entering 2022 there are bigger fish to fry. Get off your soap box and start talking to the coordinators and execs – pathetic pay, terrible hours and under qualified managers will be the first things they complain about. A discussion about diversity in media with a panel of 5 women and 1 guy, come on, a touch hypocritical.
