Women In Trading

This week Taboola hosted the first Women In Trading committee dinner. It was a great night talking all things media and what the future holds. But most of all it was a chance to catch up, reconnect in person and have some fun! Thank you to Myles Dobson and Julia Burton Brown (and Stacey Delaney (She/Her) in spirit) for being fantastic hosts and here’s to the first of many!

One week ago today, Mindshare welcomed the amazing Jade Behr to speak at their International Women’s Day event, alongside Christianne Kemp, Chloe Davies, Takako Elliott, and Alexis Faulkner, to discuss embracing the career squiggle. ? Almost simultaneously, the wonderful Jo Blake and Michelle Sarpong were invited to speak at the inaugural Publisher Perspectives event. They took part in a Women In Trading special panel, discussing how partners can become essential 'must-buy' publishers and secure a PSL spot, while being hosted by the formidable Ellie Edwards-Scott. ? Thank you to Fleur Stoppani, Steve Beckwith & Jon Walsh for having us!

Ahead of IWD tomorrow, we are truly thankful to have two committee members Duri Mehmet and Michelle Sarpong chosen by the Campaign team as “outstanding women in our industry”. We are grateful for this accolade and would like to thank Shauna Lewis and Beau Jackson as well as all of the Campaign UK team for featuring two of our committee members amongst a list of powerhouse women and highlighting Women In Trading. https://lnkd.in/e7cQrZHy Happy International Women’s Day to all the formidable women in our industry and beyond! #internationalwomensday

International Women’s Day is fast approaching, also did you know that March is ovarian cancer awareness month? The WIT committee are proud to participate in Walk In Her Name, walking 100km in March because in the UK, a woman dies from ovarian cancer every two hours. Please show your support by donating to our team page https://lnkd.in/eae8PgSB and select the member of the committee you’d like to sponsor. This will then contribute to our overall target. Thank you in advance!
