Congratulations to Mavesh Malik, Associate Director - Airport Client Direct, one of the winners of the Women in Advertising and Communications, Leadership (WACL) 17th annual Talent Awards in partnership with Nabs.
WACL is a membership organisation whose purpose is to accelerate gender equality in the advertising and communications industries. Find out more about WACL here.
The annual awards were created by Tess Alps in 2005 and are designed to encourage talented and inspirational women to focus on areas of their development to accelerate their careers.
Out of 148 applicants, 28 women were selected to each receive bursaries of up to £3,000 to fund a training course of their choice.
We saw a strong theme emerge among this year’s applicants. As businesses have returned to the office and settle down into hybrid environments, many entrants highlighted the once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the workplace – and the crucial role for female leadership to help design it with equality front of mind.Nicki Hare Chair of the WACL Talent Awards committee and chief development officer at Omnicom Media Group UK
