1. EVERY MAN IN THE AD INDUSTRY MUST READ THIS, stop this and stop other men doing this. 2. Nothing changes until MEDIA NAMES NAMES (I've been trying to make this happen for years) @zoescaman zoescaman.substack.com/p/mad-men-furi… @Campaignmag @adage @adweek @thedrum @digiday @businessinsider
Together with reading @zoescaman's post zoescaman.substack.com/p/mad-men-furi… watch the first 15 minutes of my 2017 @3PercentConf keynote, to understand why everything Zoe cites is the single biggest business issue facing the ad industry (and every other industry) today
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote I quoted @rtraister and continued, "Nor can we see the great ads those women would have created, the @cannes_lions they would have won, the agencies they would have started, the ad industry they would have transformed."
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote I said, year after year, our industry publishes surveys like this and anonymous anecdotes. The problem with anonymous stories is that women empathize, and men don't give a shit. Nothing changes until we NAME NAMES PUBLICLY
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote I talked about abuse of power + the huge number of senior ad industry men (married with kids) who initiate affairs with younger women (often under the guise of 'mentorship') & gaslight them into thinking they're consensual
In my @3PercentConf 2917 keynote I quoted @emilyrpeck and said, everything she wrote applies to the advertising industry. The lack of women leaders in the ad industry is an international business emergency
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote I quoted Michael Enzo and said, in the ad industry women are not at the table BECAUSE we're on the menu. Watch my talk for graphic examples of how we are objectified, humiliated and harassed in ways that destroy our careers
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote I said, the biggest business issue in the ad industry is not diversity, but sexual harassment - because sexual harassment manages out of the industry, the female leaders who would make #diversityandinclusion happen:
It's easy to end sexual harassment in the ad (and every other) industry. 1. Sexual harassment magically disappears in gender-equal/more female than male environments. 2. Make good sexual values and behavior part of open work culture. Watch for details:
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote, I cited @Meggatron's 'Bro Culture In Ad Agencies And The Impact On Women' as the single best analysis I've ever read on why the ad industry is the way it is. @zoescaman references it: zoescaman.substack.com/p/mad-men-furi… Men, read it, and change yourselves
'Cindy Gallop said - “[This] manages women out, destroys ambitions, derails careers, crushes dreams. But no one will go on the record. The powerful men run everything, and [the victims] are scared shitless.”' @zoescaman zoescaman.substack.com/p/mad-men-furi… Women & men, it's time to NAME NAMES
I've tried to break these stories w NAMES NAMED in media for years. Women and men of the ad industry, watch my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote , read @zoescaman zoescaman.substack.com/p/mad-men-furi… & email cindy@ifwerantheworld.com if you're finally angry enough to go public
MEN, TIME FOR YOU TO ACT. "I am asking the men of the ad industry, especially those men who enabled, stood by, laughed, joined in, stayed silent, and who now regret it, to speak up as witnesses of sexual harassment and to name names." @nickykc @campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
'Calling on the ad industry to provide victims of sexual harassment with a safety net, Gallop said: "I want to ask every agency/agency leader + brand marketer who has principles, integrity, believes in doing the right thing, to guarantee jobs" @campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
'Agencies, say you'll welcome anyone brave enough to speak up about sexual harassment, interview & hire them, instruct recruiters/HR and talent heads to actively welcome for interview + jobs open, anyone who speaks up about sexual harassment." @campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
Women, you CAN break your NDA. "What I am hearing time and time again in the emails I'm getting, is: "I WANT to speak up. I've had enough. I hate that I am prevented from doing so by fear/potential unemployability/the NDA I signed." @Campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
Today, you CAN break your NDA. In the current climate, no agency/holding company will come after you. 'Gallop says: "the advertising industry has been buying women’s – and men’s - silence on behalf of sexually harassing white men for decades." @campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
'Gallop added she was "disgusted and horrified by the really appalling stories of how much HR departments and personnel have failed women being sexually harassed." She called on every agency and holding company to "seriously clean up its HR act".' campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
'Gallop added: "I am asking for names of HR people who did not do what they should have done - protect women, and men, against sexual harassment." @nickykc @campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
#TimesUp
'Gallop said, "There is an endemic culture of sexual harassment perpetuated by the people in power – white men – who are the gatekeepers to everything: jobs, promotions, pay, awards, status, fame. People are too terrified to speak up publicly against them" campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…
'Gallop added: "The recurring motif in the emails I'm getting from women is, "I left the industry." Our industry has hemorrhaged stunning amounts of female creativity, talent and skills because of this systemic culture of sexual harassment." @campaignmag campaignlive.co.uk/article/cindy-…

Ladies, re-upping this @RachelKrantz @bustle interview with me because you may find it useful. Also, remember that in addition to business and #diversityandinclusion consulting and speaking, I also do personal coaching 🙂 cindy@ifwerantheworld.com bustle.com/articles/12937…
'Consider that when you ask for a raise, you're not just helping yourself — you are also acting on behalf of other women by helping to close the pay gap'..."As women, we don’t get taken seriously until we get taken seriously financially." I talk to @bustle bustle.com/articles/12937…
'Gallop tells @bustle, "Very simply put, if you do not ask for a raise, and if you do not ask for the most money you can possibly make in your job, you will not be valued." @RachelKrantz bustle.com/articles/12937…

Women = primary ad target. I've urged ad women for years to start #adtech biz through the female lens and make an absolute goddamn fucking shit-ton of money. Scroll founder pics in @BusinessInsider to see why, create your own better pitch. Investors abound businessinsider.com/pitch-decks-th…

'Cindy Gallop, founder of “social sex” site @makelovenotporn and a founding member of @womenofsextech, a network of women working in the #sextech space, adds female founders have a much tougher time raising capital than men.' @timmpsmith @mparts_ @Siftedeu sifted.eu/articles/rise-…
@Roman in 4 years has raised $897m and is valued at $5bn. The enormous irony is that has enabled Roman to expand into women’s health with @hellorory and to build out an overarching healthcare platform called @ro,” Gallop says.' @Siftedeu sifted.eu/articles/rise-… #sextech
“Meanwhile female-founded @ModernFertility in the same 4 years has only been able to raise the paltry sum of $22m. @ro has just acquired Modern Fertility for the pathetic sum of $225m.' Me to @timmpsmith @mparts_ @Siftedeu on investors missing out sifted.eu/articles/rise-… #sextech

'A bio for Donna Strickland, the physicist who invented a technology used by all the high-powered lasers in the world, was created on Wikipedia. In less than 6 mins it was flagged for a “speedy deletion” & shortly thereafter erased from the site' @ftripodi journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…
'This is part of the reason Dr. Strickland didn't have an active Wikipedia page when she was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics 4 years later. Despite clear evidence, some didn't feel her contributions were notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia bio' journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…
'Much scholastic work demonstrates the extent of gender inequality on Wikipedia. Women in all fields are underrepresented, articles about women’s interests are underdeveloped, and women are less likely to edit Wikipedia articles' @ftripodi @sage_publishing journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…
