McCann London CEO, Polly McMorrow, and Communications Director Clementine Cuthbertson join the IPA On... Podcast to discuss female leadership and gender equality at C-Suite level.

They explore Polly's drive to build a culture of fearlessness, and how that leads to a culture in which creativity can thrive. They also delve into the Gender Pain Gap, by discussing McCann’s ‘See my Pain’ campaign with Nurofen, which stemmed from the fact that 1 in 2 women feel their pain was dismissed.

Russ helped start the parent and carers ERG at RAPP, and was a key driving force in drastically extending parental leave at the agency.

A discussion between Serhat Ekinci and Simone Marquis, where they invite us to reflect on the value we place on bringing up children, and how this is mirrored in parental leave. 

They honestly discuss their own experiences of parental leave and the impact it has had on bonding with their children, and their work, as well as the need for greater transparency of people in positions of power taking parental leave, for it to be encouraged and normalised for everyone.
