DDB recreates Phyllis Robinson’s speech for International Women’s Day
DDB has celebrated International Women’s Day by recreating Phyllis Robinson’s 1959 speech to the American Association of Advertising Agencies using lead female talent within the Omnicon agency.
Robinson was the first female copywriter and first chief copywriter at DDB, hired in 1949. She was also a foundation employee at the New York agency, working across many iconic ad campaigns.
