11.5% Senior leaders are women

Diversity = Creativity = Profitability.

The more varied the people who come up with ideas, the more varied the ideas will be. And since women control the majority of consumer spending

and social sharing, it only makes sense to involve them in the creative process. Yet, until 2015 only 3% of Creative Directors were women.

See it Be it is an acceleration programme launched in 2013 by Cannes Lions, as a result of under-representation of women at

Creative Leadership levels in the advertising industry.

“See it Be it was launched to highlight extremely talented creative women and accelerate their careers. This year’s group come from all over the world and bring a wide range of

experiences and strong leadership potential. They will be exposed to the best inspiration Cannes Lions has to offer, with exclusive mentoring sessions, workshops and a program of

events designed to extend and enhance their network”  Louise Benson
