Episode 145 - The Don's Top 20 Countdown: 20 - Laura Jordan-Bambach

A Pint With Seaniebee

Irish writer and "craictivist", The Don, commences her countdown of her top 20 picks from the 144 episodes of A Pint With Seaniebee over the past four years. (A perfect starting point for those who want to start exploring the series). THE DON: Laura's interview should be listened to by men to gain valuable insight into some of the things that are difficult for women in the workplace; but also female listeners need to ask themselves which career-woman they are: "do you hold the ladder for women coming up behind you, or do you pull it up after you?" ******************************************** Laura Jordan-Bambach has a pint with Seaniebee Former head of The D&AD, and labeled a “Digital female icon” by The Guardian, Laura Jordan-Bambach’s legacy is likely to be less about titles and more about her drive to effect change by DOING, rather than just talking about it. Apart from founding Mr President, one of the UK’s most progressive advertising agencies, Laura has also spent most of her life fighting for women in the notoriously patriarchal and misogynistic ad industry. In 2007, she helped set up the SheSays mentoring programme (now 40,000 strong and about to launch in Afghanistan), that encourages women to pursue careers in advertising and design. She is also a founder of the "Cannt Festival", a more practical and grounded version of Cannes. We talk Gillette, Petersen, the current state of feminism and ideas on how we might get out of this looming Climate Catastrophe, which current predictions suggest may be upon us by the end of the next decade.
