Women in Advertising and Communications, London (WACL) has been in existence since 1923. It currently consists of 120 of the most senior women in the UK’s marketing communications industry, drawing its membership from advertising agencies, media agencies/owners and the marketing industry.
Current members include: Dianne Thompson, Chief Executive of Camelot, Christine Walker of Walker Media and Cilla Snowball, Chair of AMV/BBDO Europe.
Minimum entry requirements are 5 years at Board level as a Marketing Director in a client company, or as a Functional Head in an advertising or media company.
Membership is by invitation only, and results from a nomination by existing members, which is then scrutinised by a Membership Committee: we are afraid we do not accept personal applications.
Most events are for members and their guests only but we also run events each year for younger, up and coming members of the marketing communications industries. These are publicised here on our website and usually also in relevant trade magazines.
