 Kicking off this International Women’s Day, we’re taking a look at how Stagwell and its agencies are championing women, from marathons to consent education. Below, the network spotlights impactful women-focused initiatives happening today, during Women’s History Month, and throughout the year.

Allison

Lisa Rosenberg, global partner & president of consumer brands at Allison will sit on the Culture Equity and in Women’s Sports panel at SXSW. This panel will explore the relevant media and cultural influences impacting efforts to level the playing field for girls and women in sports – from grassroots, to collegiate to professional athletes. Learn more about the event here.

Susie Hughes, EVP of Allison London sat down with PR Week to share what advice she’d give to her younger self — “Approach new challenges as opportunities, rather than as things that could go wrong. When things do go wrong – or not as expected – the details quickly fade into funny stories, and the experiences become lessons that make the next challenge easier.”

Assembly

Assembly is producing a panel at its “Metamorphosis” event on March 11^th at SXSW. “Money Mavens” aims to democratize finance for the next generation of women, and will feature an all-female panel: “finfluencer” Amanda Wolfe (@Shewolfeofwallstreet), Podcast host and CEO of Scaling Retail, Syama Buntin, Founder and CEO of Wealthbuild.ai Ramona Ortega, Esq., and Editor-in-Chief of InStyle, Sally Holmes. These esteemed experts are changing the face of finance by sharing knowledge and know-how to help women clear debt, manage money, and build wealth – one investment at a time. 

Assembly Europe in partnership with Goodstuff, KWT Global and Stagwell kicked off the International Women’s Day celebration with an engaging panel discussion about “The Power of Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace.” During the panel, leaders explored what it means to embrace emotions and how to leverage them for success, particularly in the workplace, in the hopes of creating awareness and fostering an environment where everyone feels supported in expressing their own emotions.  

Code and Theory

This International Women’s Day, Code and Theory asked creatives and technologists to share thoughts on womanhood, their best industry advice and the change they’d like to see. Explore what female leaders within the agency had to say here.

Crispin Porter + Bogusky London

One in five UK adults think ‘no’ can mean ‘yes’ when it comes to sex – to address national confusion on consent, CPB London launched the “I’m Asking For It” campaign in partnership with Right to Equality. This multi-agency effort led by CPB London, Assembly Europe, Goodstuff and KWT Global raises awareness for consent and asks individuals to join in demanding the UK adopt the Affirmative Consent Standard.

GALE

GALE, Vox Media, and MilkPEP announced an expansive media partnership focused on spotlighting female athletes. The contract is an extension of a longstanding partnership with MilkPEP which aims to break the coverage gap in sports and elevate female athletes of all levels along the way. To celebrate the launch, the companies hosted an inspiring run for allies at SXSW, followed by a panel discussion.

KWT Global

KWT Global asked women within their organization to share their take on what ‘inspiring inclusion’ means. Envisioning a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination – a world where diversity, equity and inclusion are top of mind, female leaders share their vision for the future.

Left Field Labs

Sarah Mehler, founder and CEO of Left Field Labs authored a piece, “Inspiring Disruption: Women Redefining Authentic Leadership,” featured in Little Black Book. Mehler shares career advice and reflects on her experience defining her own path as a female leader.

“On this International Women’s Day, let us celebrate the strides we have made towards a more inclusive and humane approach to leadership and technology. Let us also renew our commitment to being agents of change, pushing forward with courage and a deep belief in the power of human connection.”
