Calling all moms! We’re thrilled to kick off the 3rd year of Momternship — our paid internship program created to equip?mothers who have taken a career break with the confidence, skills and support to successfully re-enter the workforce. This year, we’ve extended the duration of the program from 10-weeks to 20-weeks. So, Momterns have more time to flex their new skills. As always: no experience in advertising is required or need to explain that “gap” on your resume — bring those mama superpowers here! We can’t wait to welcome you back.

DC area folks! ??

Love this take on #parentpreneuring from Sherene Strausberg! Way to make your schedule work for you!

CMOs. You may not have noticed, but the women in advertising have been fighting on all fronts this week: Zoe Scaman released her bombshell report on the horrific experience of being a mother in advertising. https://lnkd.in/ed25T3sJ The creative women of Australasia are up in arms after Campaign Brief's creative league table was published featuring just one woman. In 2024! https://lnkd.in/eTkmuizZ At Visible Inc we've been fighting gendered ageism. Visible Start screamed about the statistic that came out last week that almost 50% of recruiters think 57 is too old for a job. https://lnkd.in/evNqYnDE And Visible Creators, our team of elite midlife creatives, launched a campaign to highlight the fact that even though women 45+ are the world's biggest consumers, women 45+ are never employed to create ads for them. It's time for CMOs to use your firepower: Demand the mothers in your agency are happy and treated with the respect they deserve. Insist more female creatives are given your best briefs. Ensure your recruiters (and those in your agency) have undergone gendered ageism training (Jacquie Duckworth can give you all the info.) And, if you're targeting midlife women, demand that midlife women lead the damn narrative. What can everyone else do? Tag every CMO you can think of!

No one puts Bobbie in the corner! I'm not going to lie. I love this campaign because it bold, beautiful, and most importantly, Molly Baz is completely unapologetic and owning her space! If you can put a half-naked woman in underwear and wings on a billboard, there is no reason you can't show a mother feeding her baby.

The women behind The women!

Join Kate Mrozowski Lim on October 12th for an inside look at the business of motion graphics! Don't miss this great opportunity to learn from the pros!

I've connected with so many wonderful people here lately, and it got me thinking about the kind of work that truly energizes me. So, I figured it was about time to reintroduce myself. Hey ?? I’m Oana, a freelance Art Director & Motion Designer with 12 years of experience. I'm based in London, though I originally hail from Romania. I create animated videos that inspire teams and connect companies with like-minded stakeholders by bringing their North Star to life. ?? ? My superpower is visual storytelling ? Visuals have the power to make complex topics easy to understand. But beyond that, visual storytelling creates emotional bonds with the audience. Research shows that experiences connected to strong emotional reactions are stored in the long memory cupboard. ? I value authenticity. I don't want to make more noise ? Crafting meaningful work that holds value for companies and their audiences is at the heart of my work practice. I’d love to hear what you’re excited about in your work. Feel free to say hey in the comments. ??

Our second GetEven has landed: Make yourself Heard! This one is all about the dreaded imposter syndrome… sadly most women in the creative industry know this one!

In an hour of conversation and Q&A, we’ll cover how to build confidence in the workplace, the power of body language, and standing out in a competitive environment. Make Yourself Heard is part of GetEven, How&How’s free mentorship program for women, by women, which aims to balance out the gender disparity in the Creative Industry. Whether you’re a founder or junior, animator or account manager, join us in learning actionable tools to take your career to where it deserves to be.?
