Here at Choreograph, we proudly embody the principles of International Women’s Day. Collaborating with WPP and GroupM, we will deliver a series of activities throughout March to celebrate women and women’s history. From panel discussions to coaching opportunities and sessions on allyship, we’re committed to elevating all who identify as female to create an opportunity to learn, progress, support and advocate for each other.
In celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day theme, we’ve asked our colleagues to share their thoughts on how they feel we can all #EmbraceEquity.
