What do you get when you invite six of ad land’s most powerful women into a room to talk candidly about what it means to be a woman in the industry?

It might sound like the start of a riddle. After all, coordinating the diaries of six CEOs and senior leaders is no small feat.

Amazingly, Mediaweek managed to do just that.

In the aftermath of International Women’s Day, the Newsmakers podcast brought together a group of Omnicom’s most influential female leaders for an unfiltered conversation about leadership, change and the realities of navigating advertising’s power corridors.

The line-up includes Laura Nice, CEO of PHD; Jo McAlister, CEO of Initiative; Liz Wigmore, Managing Director of Hearts & Science; Sian Whitnall, CEO of OMD; Sue Squillace, CEO Mediahub; and Stevie Douglas-Neill, CEO of UM.

Mediaweek Newsmakers: The female leaders of Omnicom

Marc Fennell has a knack for finding the stories that make you double-take. From art heists to stolen colonial artifacts, he has carved out a niche as Australia’s preeminent chronicler of the weird and the wealthy.

His latest project, Australia’s Greatest Conman, dives into the surreal world of John Friedrich and the National Safety Council.

Marc joined Mediaweek's Newsmakers to talk behind the scenes on the doco series that investigates Australia’s biggest fraudster. A guy who built a private counter-terrorism base, gave helicopter lifts to Bob Hawke, and was awarded an Order of Australia.

And he paid for absolutely none of it.
