One of the missions of International Women’s Day is to celebrate the work of women creatives. When I read this, it made me think about how my career has been shaped by some truly exceptional women.
I have worked for 3 agencies founded by women and benefitted greatly from working closely with the founders. 2 of the agencies were led by women creative directors. I have also been lucky enough to work with some phenomenally talented women writers, photographers, illustrators, animators, film directors, typographers, art directors and designers.

I know that having so many influential creative women leaders in my life is unusual, but it shouldn’t be. In my experience, creative industry roles are set by talent not gender. That said when I was recruiting for our CD role, of the 15 candidates only one was a woman, so we have some way to go in keeping talented women creatives within our industry and helping them reach senior positions.

I now work alongside my wife in the agency she founded 10 years ago. We are an agency powered by talented women and women make up two thirds of our agency. Women of Wordbird I salute you.

Now back to the mission - I want to take this opportunity to big up the work of my long-time art school friend . For a bunch of reasons Ailsa did not follow a career in creativity and her artistic talents lay dormant shrouded beneath a career in finance, charity sector and public health. After nearly thirty years and much badgering from friends, Ailsa decided to pluck up the courage to sign up for a local art evening class – one of her big barriers was self-confidence and the questions she regularly asked was ‘could she still do it? And was she good enough?’ After taking that first step, it was the first of many firsts leading to many exhibitions and commissions. This year along with another 13,000 people she has submitted work to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. So just to answer that question one more time ‘yes you can still do it – yes you’re good enough.’ Ailsa has recommended I reset what we were taught at art school by reading The Story of Art WITHOUT MEN by – this seems like a long overdue read.

Wordbird copy team lesson #1

Miscommunication early in a project can result in creating something that is um, kind of right…but not really.

Our copy director tasked us with actively listening to instructions (no peeking!) to recreate the same Lego shape that she was building. As you can see, we got it almost right. But not 100%.

The lesson here is no matter how clear the instructions are (all hail our clarity queen 👸🏼!) it is still extremely important to ask questions and seek clarity every step of the way.
