Watch: ‘An Ode To Mentors’ Featuring Six Inspiring Mentors & Mentees

Photography by andre&dominqiue

While International Women’s Day has come and gone, the message and reason why IWD exists should remain at the forefront of our minds.

On IWD 2019, B&T partnered with Adobe to host ‘An Ode to Mentors’ lunch, celebrating Australia’s leading female marketers and women who have achieved noteworthy success in their respective careers.

ICYMI, the lunch was held in order to recognise the accomplishments of these women, as well as the opportunity for them to say thank you to their mentors – those who supported them throughout their career and helped them achieve their career goals.

Mentors who attended were both men and women – yet the majority of mentors were women (very fitting on IWD!)

During the day, we grabbed a few of the attendees to share their take on this year’s IWD, things they’ve learned from their mentors, their most inspirational female figure and more.

Here, we have three inspiring videos, featuring: Lara Thom & Danielle Keyes, Uma Oldham & Sarah Yassien, and Rob Morris & Holly Stephens.
