New workshop announced for marketing mums returning to work
A new workshop designed for marketing mums – whether currently employed or seeking new opportunities – will launch in Melbourne next month.
Created by creative agency Pangea, EMMA – Empowering Marketing Mums Australia – is a two-hour forum that will look at “returning to work after maternity leave, rediscovering professional strengths, a crash course on recent industry trends, insights into how the modern marketing landscape has evolved, and some much-needed inspiration”.
“As a proud mum and a dedicated professional, I deeply understand the emotional and practical challenges that come with returning to work after maternity leave – it can feel like a minefield!” Pangea business director, Prudence Warnock, said.
“And only other working mothers can really understand. This workshop is designed to realistically address common challenges, and ensure that marketing mums, like myself, feel informed, prepared, supported, celebrated, and, most importantly, ready to step back into their careers with their best foot forward from day one.”
Guest speakers on the day include Lauren Treweek, producer and co-host of the Ready or Not podcast, Ozdare CMO, Libby Gude, and Uber senior client partner, Luci Hodgson.
“I think there can be a perception that ‘taking time off’ to birth/raise your children can be detrimental to your career growth and can leave you with a feeling of being left behind,” Hodgson said.
“The reality is that becoming a parent elevates you. It broadens your perspectives and experiences, forces you to prioritise your time and energy, and ultimately empowers you.”
EMMA will take place on Tuesday, October 22 in South Yarra. Email prudence@thepangeaagency.com for more details.
