🌈 It's International Pronoun Day! 🌈 To mark today’s significance, volunteer-run LGBTQIA+ advocacy group Outvertising and All In LGBTQIA+ Working Group have launched the ‘Pronouns in Adland’ guide. This launch is part of the industry's All In Action Plan, led by the Advertising Association, ISBA, and IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising). The guide aims to create safer and more inclusive workplaces across the media and advertising industry by answering pronoun FAQs and addressing common confusions. It's a valuable resource to help foster understanding and support around pronouns. We're proud to have contributed to this guide alongside dentsu, the7stars, and McCann Worldgroup, sharing our experiences of introducing pronouns at work to help others do the same. Our CEO and Chair of #UKAEG, Julian Douglas, added “For many, using and respecting pronouns is a simple yet powerful way to self-identify, show allyship and create a culture of inclusivity. I am proud to support this initiative and encourage everyone who wishes to share their pronouns to do so with pride”. Thank you to Campaign UK for spotlighting the ‘Pronouns in Adland’ guide, and to Beau Jackson for writing this article: https://lnkd.in/esFYuX5V
