I hate being called "women in advertising" - We don't say "men in advertising" - it's patronizing.

It kind of goes along with "pant suits". All suits are pant suits except they are just called suits when men wear them. We have a long way to go for women's equality but making progress. Truth is us men are intimidated by women because you are smarter and have more EI than we'll ever have. So the response is to degrade like on a school yard playground. Stay positive though!

Well pant suits does differentiate from skirt suits. But point well taken

Pants suits as a term exists because women can also have skirt suits; it's not a misogynistic term

But to be clear, all suits when paired with pants are pantsuits. 👖

What’s your agency’s hook?

I’m starting a new offering from the ground floor - no existing social clients or work. I’ll be walking into meetings with clients who know me from other agencies, where our hook was “we’re fan-first marketers” or “we are the most premium creative shop in our industry”.

I’m working on my new hook, but would love to hear yours.
