Got inspired by Dani St James, CEO of the incredible trans+ rights charity, Not A Phase in a powerful talk that left our hearts truly warmed. A huge shoutout to Assembly Global for organising such an inspiring talk❤️ 9. Our weekly newsletter "Stuffed" was taken over by all things Pride, taking a look back at how Adland celebrated and uplifted the LGBTQIA+ community over the past month✨. 10.

We're still beaming from 🌟 The Pitch 🌟 In case you missed it, along with our partners YourGamePlan, we set a nationwide competition challenging students to devise a media and creative concept for a fictional brief for this year’s JD Sports Fashion Christmas Campaign. Finalists were invited to Meta HQ in London where they took part in workshops from Channel 4, Clear Channel Outdoor, JCDecaux UK, Pearl & Dean, Meta, the creative team from JD Sports Fashion, as well as some of our very own Goodstuffers. They also got to pitch their ideas LIVE to a panel of judges. 😰Chris Waters, Tim Campbell, Beau Jackson, Russie M. and Andrew Stephens. The winners will work with JD Sports’ Marketing Team to learn how an advertising campaign comes to life from start to finish. It was an incredible day and we were blown away by all of the finalists 🤩 This is where you come in… Beyond the 55 talented young people who reached the final, 400 others put themselves forward for work experience so register now to get involved! https://lnkd.in/d3z3SPEy

Elon Musk's attendance at this year's Cannes Lions split the crowd. Some think he "was not robustly challenged on his views", with others saying"Read didn’t give him an easy time". Our Chief Data, Digital, and Technology Officer, Sarah Treliving, is among those Campaign UK asked for an opinion. See what she had to say here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eXT99MTW
