Honest question from a female creative: is “we need to hire a woman” still an actual thing agencies say out loud in 2025, or has that ship kind of sailed?

Was told at an interview a few months ago that the CCO is looking for a female team. Since I am an Asian male partnered with a woman, that’s cool too.

I don‘t believe that ship has sailed. At CM our CCO is female. From what I see a high proportion of the global creative team (which includes UX) consists of females, at all levels.

i don’t think that ship as sailed, there’s plenty of women CDs where i work, including me, and conscious hiring to keep teams diverse
