“With the ever-changing landscape of our creative business, I’m excited to see that our finalists span equivalently diverse roles. From creative directors in major network agencies to content platforms like VICE, from creative controller to cultural strategist, it’s evident that there are more hungry female talents amongst us than we think. From the quality of submissions, it is heartening to see that many weren’t just looking to hone their own skills but genuinely want to know how they can help other women in their organisation and community achieve more. This selfless act is the best wish for a program like this to create a bigger impact beyond Spikes Asia.” shares Valerie Madon, See It Be It Ambassador
