This is always my North Star. Harder to remember than it should be, but is the most important question we should all ask ourselves before we present any work. You may not be the target audience but you are a human being and if you wouldn’t give a shit about it if you weren’t working on it, nobody else will.

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
