DDB Initiative 

As part of DDB’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, I've developed and launched Hungry Women — an initiative designed to support and uplift our female-identifying staff members. Hungry Women is more than just a program. It’s a movement within DDB — one that will continue to challenge the status quo, amplify the voices of women, and build a culture where ambition and empowerment thrive.

 

Hungry Women fosters connection through bi-monthly lunches, where the women of the agency can engage in meaningful conversations, tackle challenging topics, and continue to stay "hungry" for growth and success.

 

Additionally, we host quarterly Inspire Series seminars for DDBers across all three of our ANZ offices. Inspired by the 2024 International Women’s Day theme, we've had the privilege of featuring remarkable speakers, including; Simone LeAmon, Curator of Contemporary Design and Architecture at the National Gallery of Victoria, Jardin Anderson, MONA’s Head of Creative, Monique Woodward, Creative Director of the award-winning practice WOWOWA Architecture & Interiors and Priya Patel, our very own CEO of DDB New Zealand. Each of these visionary women shared valuable insights into what fuels their creativity and drives their success. Just another way, we’re inspiring and supporting female driven creativity at DDB.
