Golden Stilleto Awards 2008

The Golden Stiletto Awards 2008

SHESAYS will announce tonight the lucky creative talents who will receive the Golden Stiletto Awards 2008. Shesays holds events in the UK and the US, where top females in the digital ad agencies share their thoughts and help people to either get started or work their way up. Founder Alessandra Lariu, Director of McCann NYC and Laura Jordan Bambach of Glue London say: “The world is pretty much half men, half women. So why are there hardly any females in the creative department of most digital ad agencies? We decided to stop chatting about it and do something”.

The awards are the only ones which celebrate female creativity with an all female judging panel made up of distinguished leaders in the advertising industry. Lee Wright, Managing Director of Dare heads the jury of 6 women. The awards are certainly the most glamorous - the prize will be a golden stiletto shoe….

At the events the women tell each other anything you want to know (about advertising) and help each other out from everything as attractive pay packets, private car parking spaces and buckets of champers at the top, to introductions to industry experts and offerings of mentorships.

Apart from the award the winner also receives a Masterclass ‘for women (she creatives) only.

Added later: Yasmin Quemard, a senior copywriter at Dare, has won the top award at the inaugural Golden Stiletto Awards.
