THINK EQUAL podcast - Leanne Foy meets Amanda Fox-Pryke

Published on: 20th April, 2023

THINK EQUAL is the new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiative led by The Marketing Society. THINK EQUAL aims to drive diversity and inclusion across the marcomms industry in the MENA region. Through training, events, mentoring, policy changes, content and more. We aim to provide tangible activity that will make an impact and a difference now.

As part of our campaign, we are thrilled to launch the THINK EQUAL podcast. Each month, our podcast will shine a spotlight on an inspiring female leader who is dedicated to levelling the marcomms playing field. 

Our inaugural podcast sees Leanne Foy, Project Director of THINK EQUAL meet Amanda Fox-Pryke, Deputy Managing Director at Performance Communications. 

Having worked in the traditionally male-dominated industries of sport and automotive, Amanda shares how she has overcome personal and industry barriers to reach a leadership role. Leanne and Amanda discuss what support is available and share advice for the next generation of aspiring female leaders. 

Podcast highlights include: 

  • How coaching and mentor guidance has (and continues to!) supercharge Amanda’s career 
  • The importance of self-belief and taking accountability for your self-learning journey 
  • Why networking is the secret weapon to career success  

We hope you enjoy!
