From hosting sessions with many leaders across the creative industries, we’ve found that people need a safe, authentic and innovative space to speak to peers about the issues their facing, to hear if those issues are unique to them or to hear others are going through the same.
The important next step is to create a trusting space where peers can share tangible solutions to new and old challenges faced by professionals in a post 2020 world.

How do our members describe UNIFY?
WHAT DO OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR UNIFY SESSIONS?
“Being able to connect meaningfully with other people working on DEI in our industry is so valuable. And it's not just a talking shop! I always learn something from these conversations or take away a new action. I feel very fortunate to be able to listen and learn from this amazing group of people, to share experiences and pool knowledge. Dismantling oppression and working on achieving equity for all transcends our individual organisations, and I love the opportunity to collaborate, find and express solidarity and explore ways of working that can drive positive change.”
— Kate Williams, Head of Diversity & Inclusion, Publicis Groupe
“My mum taught me two things: the first is that if you have a positive mental attitude you can get 10-15% more out of yourself and those around you. The second is that you make your own luck, and that’s what Ashley and Charles are all about. That’s the kind of infectious feeling that we all get from being a part of UNIFY Creative. That’s why this group has attracted the types of people that it has. If you look around at those here today, I’m also seeing a lot of new faces, who I don’t see on the panels all the time. That’s what makes this interesting to me. UNIFY Creative is bringing a genuinely different perspective.”
— Sam Hawkey, CEO, AMV BBDO
“Charles and Ashley do a terrific job of getting a great line-up of people together to debate these issues. There is a really strong desire from everybody that I meet in the industry to make this industry as good as it possibly can be and forums like this are very important. The more that we talk and share problems, the more likely we are to get to the right solutions.”
— Stephen Woodford, CEO, Advertising Association
“It's unique and refreshing to have this brain trust made up of people across the DEI industry: these are real thought partners as well as colleagues.”
