7 October 2015 17:30See you at Berghs!

Let's get empowered!

Now, there is something we think is needed in the advertising, tech and creative industry. More female role models. And - yes, we know they exists - but let us put it this way:

- We think that they need to be shown -

So, we're bringing the SheSays Network to Sthlm. The aim is simple, to create a space where female role models can tell their stories, lend some pearls of advice and were female thought leadership can get a natural voice. We have a pretty neat line up for the event in October that you don't want to miss!

Grab a friend, register and get ready to be inspired! We are looking forward to see you! (This event is open for everyone regardless, age, gender, background)

Guldvågen
Gender equality award

The communication industry in Sweden is crazy about awards, but blind when it comes to gender equality. Therefore the award Guldvågen is now instituted - a price that shows talents and clients which agency that’s not only good at communication, but also a good workplace where employees receive the right salary, space and encouragement to grow - regardless of gender. Today, the agencies are pretty bad at that.

The award and a great gala will take place in the end of 2015.
