    While there were lots of wonderful celebrations and corporate display of support for yesterday, do these equate to actions from within? Look forward to a day in North America when a meeting at the C-Suite level is not mostly a meeting of white males.

    Not sure slow growth is a sign of economic slowdown as article suggests. Marketing has become much more nimble. Digital levels playing field for smaller, more specialized players. Scale is often more a liability than benefit. agencies need to rethink their model.

    Brilliant & sad read from on misogyny faced by . "If women were genetically driven to nurture costly-to-maintain, temperamental, but desperately important things that melt down at critical moments, we’d all be systems administrators."

    1/ Hiring practices like asking candidates (full time and freelance) for their rate creates to begin with. People in hiring positions need to cut the cat-and-mouse game & embrace equal pay for equal work.
