This is great news for Fleur, FCB and FCB clients but it’s also great news for women in advertising. This girl can.
It’s also great for the brave white men whom had the foresight to promote someone who’s great at their job, not because they felt they should jump on a bandwagon and promote someone based upon their gender.
Nice one Fleur. Awesome news.
@Really, the point is there are very few women MDs in advertising (try counting, it won’t take you long). Young women need to see other women in these positions to encourage the belief they too could be at the top table some day. Take your male-tinted glasses off and see for yourself, gender inequality is still an issue in this country. Congratulations, Fleur, a well deserved appointment.
