March is Women’s History Month.

Progress is worth celebrating, but it is also worth being honest about where we still fall short.

In Canada, women still earn roughly 88 cents for every dollar earned by men.

At Hotspex Media, we are lucky to work with an incredible group of women whose ideas, leadership, and perspective shape our work every day.

Ensuring they are recognized and fairly compensated is not something we see as an ’achievement. It is the baseline.

Today, that looks like:
➡️ A team that is over 50% women
➡️ Women making up 50% of our Senior Leadership Team and over half of our people leaders
➡️ An equal distribution of well-deserved promotions across male and female team members over the past year
➡️ Competitive, equitable salaries across all roles and functions

Gender equity should not be a once-a-year conversation.

Real progress shows up in the everyday decisions companies make, consistently and over time.

This past weekend, our very own Sophie Rewane-Dakolo and Louay Hamze competed in the Young Lions competition, taking on an intense 48 hours of creativity, strategy and teamwork under real pressure.

The energy in the room was focused and determined, with just the right mix of nerves and excitement.
They pushed each other’s thinking, challenged ideas, refined the work, and kept raising the bar every step of the way.

A big thank you to the mentors who volunteered their time to support this dynamic duo! Your guidance and encouragement meant a lot.

The winning team will go on to represent Canada at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this June. We’re wishing all entrants the best of luck - and hoping that it’s us! 😉

Stay tuned!

Black Heritage Month is an opportunity to recognize, celebrate, and honour the global impact of Black culture, creativity, and community - not just historically, but in the present day. This month, we’re centring joy, connection, and shared experiences, and we invite you to celebrate alongside us.

From in-person socials to virtual moments of connection, we’re highlighting the contributions of Black creators, artists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. Through music, stories, games, and shared conversations, we’re learning, appreciating, and celebrating together as a team.

We’re proud to take this time to reflect, celebrate, and enjoy the richness of Black culture; past, present, and future.

Follow along to see all the exciting things our team has planned throughout the month!

And that’s a wrap on Spirit Month!

It’s been so fun watching our team go all out this month! From wacky socks to chic après ski looks, creative moments and competitive games, the energy and enthusiasm everyone brought was incredible to see.

Spirit Month was all about taking a break from the day-to-day, trying something different, and giving ourselves an excuse to laugh together. We’re SO grateful for a team that shows up with creativity, good vibes, and a willingness to lean in.

What helps your team stay motivated in the dreary winter months?

Winter slump hitting your office?

A few simple activities throughout the month to bring people together, boost energy, and break the routine.

Hear from our team how our spirit month has helped get them back into the swing of things after winter break.

At Hotspex Media, we’re people first. We make space to connect, celebrate wins, and have a little fun along the way.

Our VP of People Experience and Wellness, Rachelle, shares why it’s so important for her to amp up work culture in the winter months.

Earlier this month, she suited up as Ref for our Jimmy Jabs Day as part of Spirit Month—a series of fun activities designed to bring the team together, keep spirits high, and make work a little more playful even on the coldest days.
