We were thrilled to host She Runs It for their “Best of the Badass Bosses: Las Jefas Edition” event at #AWNewYork24. Our SVP/Group Partner, Integrated Investment Andrea (Valdes) Jenny joined a powerhouse panel of Latina leaders, and discussed her career journey, identity as a Hispanic/Latina woman, and how her cultural roots have helped drive her success: “I was taught that if you want something, you have to go out and get it for yourself because no one’s going to just give it to you.” Thank you She Runs It for this inspiring (and fun) discussion! #HispanicHeritageMonth IPG Mediabrands

Our SVP/Group Partner Nora Colonero Wolfe joined Xumo's Advertising Week NY discussion on strategies for achieving incremental reach in a fragmented media landscape, how modern audiences are consuming content, the importance of data quality + building effective media plans. “We need to make sure that we as marketers are not just deciding ‘This is what I am viewing and this is how I am going to build my media plan.’ We want to consider how the entire nation is consuming content and how can we make sure that we are in front of all of them.” #AWNewYork24 IPG Mediabrands

Our US Chief Investment Officer Marcy Greenberger and other industry leaders sat down with Digiday to provide insights for their annual Media Agency Report. Marcy noted marketers that are targeting younger consumers are leaning into short-form video, and also that depending on the publisher, short-form video gives brands “an opportunity to be a little bit more contextually relevant, versus a linear CTV that’s either broad entertainment or sports.” Read the full report now!

Another exciting day at Adwanted Events' Future of Media London! We’re proud to share that Gabriela Reis de Paiva, Insight Director at UM, presented the findings from our latest research project, Amplify: The Power of Authentic Culture, which we conducted in collaboration with Amaliah at today’s event. 5% of the UK population is Muslim, a community with significant buying power, and yet many agencies and brands fail to create strategies to reach and connect with these potential customers. Amaliah is a media platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of Muslim women, and is the partner that can help brands understand the perspectives of the Muslim audience best - particularly how they feel brands are representing them. The research uncovered some critical insights, such as only 14% of respondents feeling that Muslim people are frequently represented in advertising, and when they are, 60% believe that representation is often stereotypical. Furthermore, 75% indicated they are more likely to support brands that portray Muslims in a positive, authentic way. Following Gabriela's presentation, Michael Albert Brown, Head of Insights and Research at UM, interviewed Nafisa Bakkar, Founder & CEO of Amaliah. Nafisa shared about her journey with Amaliah and emphasised the importance of brands being authentic in their communication with the Muslim community, highlighting great case studies of brands doing it well. We’re proud to have partnered with Amaliah to deepen our understanding of this crucial issue within the industry. As an agency, we are committed to applying these findings in our work, ensuring that we take meaningful steps to address this challenge. A special thank you to Michael Albert Brown, Gabriela Reis de Paiva, and Nafisa Bakkar for your hard work on this project, and for helping us drive positive change. Also, thank you to Chris Howell for creating such a powerful visual identity for the project. UM Worldwide #FOML #FOM

Our US CEO Erin Akselrod - Quintana took the stage at #AWNewYork24 with The Female Quotient to discuss the power of mentorship, workplace friendship and creating supportive networks to drive personal and professional growth. “The best relationships are two-way relationships. Particularly in a mentor-mentee relationship, it’s meant to go both ways, not just receiving advice or giving advice. There really is something to learn from one another.” Thank you to TFQ for hosting this important discussion with Jemma Gould, Cori Retblatt Fernandez, Kelly McMahon and Jenny Holland moderated by Brittany Jones-Cooper.

We're excited to share that Susan Kingston-Brown, UM EMEA President, participated in a fireside chat this morning at Adwanted Events' Future of Media London. Brilliantly moderated by Omar Oakes, Editor in Chief at The Media Leader UK, the conversation covered the seismic shifts in the industry, changing client demands, how agencies of the future need to adapt to survive and thrive, and how UM and IPG Mediabrands are preparing for the next chapter. Susan shared her passion for challenging conventions and her appreciation for the nuances of working with diverse markets and cultures, which have been pivotal in her journey to becoming UM EMEA President. She also spoke on leadership, sharing her perspective that a great leader always focuses on outcomes and embraces continuous change without disruption. Recognising the current rate of change, she highlighted the need to evolve media planning to reflect the broader ecosystem. Susan also emphasised the critical correlation between strong client relationships and agency success, noting that while many companies have access to similar technology and data, it’s the people who make the real difference.

We are so PROUD and honored to partner with Levi’s on this epic new campaign! And HBD from our team to the brilliant Kenneth Mitchell! 🎉 #LiveInLevis
What. A. Week! This week, we reaffirmed Levi’s® place at the center of culture with the launch of Chapter 1: Launderette - the first film of our REIIMAGINE campaign - with none other than Beyoncé. Plus, I celebrated my birthday!! Our REIIMAGINE campaign brings together Levi’s® position as the ‘unofficial uniform of progress,’ and Beyoncé’s decades-long, creative exploration of reinvention. As we invite our fans on this journey, we’ll be paying homage to classic Levi’s® ads and iconography, through a modern lens that celebrates women and demonstrates how Levi’s® products are fit for the icon in all of us. This campaign was a remarkable team effort and a testament to the incredible heart and hustle of our Levi’s® colleagues and partners. Huge shout out, thank you and congratulations to Dawn, Karyn, Rachel, Zoe, Catherine, Curtis, Alex, Chad, Chris, Connie, Danielle, Jill, Lance, Leo, Kaede, Mark, Maya, Marie-Hélène, Renée, Chris, Mathilde, Hervé, Luis, Amo, Heather, Danielle, Napassorn (Mod), plus Erin, Courtney, Desmond, Kira, Eneida and our crew at TBWA\Chiat\Day and Andrea, Chris Portella and our crew at UM Worldwide.
