WAMA (WA Marketing Association Inc.)

As an industry that prides itself on creativity, we should have developed enough self-awareness to catch this. The lack of representation isn’t just gender imbalance - it reflects a broader failure to reflect the diversity of modern Australia. #DEI #DiversityAndInclusion #WeAreWAMA #CreativeRepresentation Tess Palmyre Rene LeMerle Menuccia Tassone Eloise Pitts Andrea Candy Ashley Broadway Des McNamara Emma Ridley Leigh Wood Bronte Davy

That's all folks - our breakfast series for 2024 is done and dusted. We went out with a bang, thanks to strategy superstars Matt Oakley, Taryn Hare, Hannah Muirhead and Bradley Scott, who eloquently (and at times amusingly) acknowledged the mystery that surrounds strategy by dispelling the “hot air” and reminding us to trust our gut, to be interesting, and keep it simple. Thanks again to everyone who attended and to our incredible sponsors and committee members who make events like today possible. We couldn't do it without you. #WeAreWAMA #WAMarketing #Strategy
