GERETY TALKS: Australian Creativity With The Aunties
Gerety Talks Australian Creativity with The Aunties:
Phoebe Sloane, Creative, Special Group Australia
Sarah McGregor, Executive Creative Director at Communicado Melbourne
Huei Yin Wong, Senior Art Director at Clemenger BBDO
Just like the award show, the Gerety Talks series puts some of the marketing and creative industry’s true changemakers in the spotlight - and at the center of the conversation - with the aim to drive progress within the industry on a global scale. The series will bring together agency and brand leaders from around the globe for a refreshing take on what leadership looks like.
The Aunties was launched to inspire, protect, connect and champion women of all ages and backgrounds across Melbourne’s creative industries, through tailored mentorships, seminars and networking opportunities.
The name pays tribute to, and is inspired by, legendary advertising mentor, Esther Clerehan, who often refers to herself as an “auntie” to the countless number of women she’s mentored over the years.
Named for Frances Gerety, the copywriter who in 1948 coined the slogan "A diamond is forever”.
The Gerety Awards brings together a jury to select the best in advertising from a powerful perspective, creating a benchmark that is relevant to the market reality, all while redefining the standard to which advertising has traditionally been held.
