Media Trust has announced the launch of their annual Women’s Voices event in celebration of International Women's Day. Media Trust are offering 30 charities that support, campaign and advocate for all women and girls, the opportunity to work with their own team of media and creative industry volunteers. Each team will have the combined skills to help their charity build an effective, impactful and compelling communications action plan to take forward. The day will consist of insights from industry leaders, creative brainstorming and advice, and networking opportunities.
If your charity supports women and girls and is looking to reach new audiences, develop a campaign or raise awareness about your cause, Media Trust invite you to apply for a place at their Women’s Voices in celebration of International Women’s Day on 8 March 2022 from 10am-4pm, online. The event will be a day of creative brainstorming and advice with your own dedicated team of media and creative industry experts.
Free advice from media and creative industry professionals
For the sixth year running, Media Trust will be celebrating International Women’s Day by bringing together 30 charities that support, campaign and advocate for all women and girls, with 150 media and creative volunteers from organisations such as adam&eveDDB, BBC, Bloomberg, Dentsu Aegis, Google, Hearst, ITV, MediaCom, Meta, Telegraph and Twitter to help raise their profile and voices, and the issues that affect them.
