Today is Transgender Day Of Visibility, a day dedicated to celebrating the work of, and raising awareness of what is faced by, trans+ folks. @transhistoryweek.bsky.social is 5 weeks away. Make sure you download their workbook and get the history lessons we were never taught.

Happening this Thursday 👇

I believe in better. It is my view that this status quo has to go if it leads to outcomes like this. The Advocacy Playbook by @outvertising.bsky.social, promises to guide advertisers to make better decisions. 22/

It’s live 🚀 This could be the most impactful 15 minutes of your day.

Are you All In for tomorrow? The final countdown is on before the launch of the third All In Census tomorrow. This is our industry's opportunity to build a workplace where everyone feels they belong. advertisingallin.co.uk/all-in-census/

🚀 The Outvertising Mentor Programme 2025 is Now Open for Applications! 🏳️‍🌈 Are you an LGBTQIA+ professional looking to break into the advertising industry or take your career to the next level? Or are you a senior leader eager to give back and support the next generation of talent?

This is an incredibly important resource. Those not in marketing & advertising might not realise how important brand input/£££ is - it’s what the news media are chasing when they generate transphobic outrage for clicks! If brands reject placement on transphobic platforms, the media are stuffed! 👏🏻😁

This has been in development for atleast 18 months. I’m glad to see it launch. The ad industry really needs it right now. Thank you @outvertising.bsky.social 🙏

Today @outvertising.bsky.social have released their Advocacy Playbook for the industry. At least 18 months in the making. The ad industry desperately needs this guidance right now. Well done to all the volunteers at Outvertising for creating a clear path forward 🙏

For those of you in the industry, I definitely recommend checking this out. I've just started to go through it but already it looks like an extremely valuable resource with actionable ideas.

The Advocacy Playbook is officially here today!   This first-of-its-kind resource has been created to empower you to establish equity in your workplaces and build it into the work you create. www.outvertising.org/theadvocacyp...

Our Comms Co-Director @sonniesopinions.bsky.social is on The Media Leader podcast talking Meta with @jackcarterbenjamin.bsky.social uk.themedialeader.com/we-need-to-t...

👀 a deafening silence or just a post lost in the feed? It’s hard to tell. We know there have been liberal amounts of gagging orders in our industry. You can DM in absolute confidence if you need.

We need community more than ever. Come and meet other queer adland professionals, make friends, network, find support, and discover a strong community among your LGBTQIA+ colleagues. Wednesday, 5th February From 6:30 PM Retro Bar, 2 George Court, WC2N 6HH, London (Dog friendly)

Update: Media agencies have gone silent over Meta’s ‘Hateful Conduct Policy’ changes 9 of 10 did not provide a comment when asked for one. 🧵 /1

🧵In Adland, our colleagues from the LGBTQIA+ community earn on average £7,161 less than their heterosexual counterparts – which is approximately a 10% pay gap. Out of those who earn £100k, only 13% are from the LGBTQIA+ community.

We’re back with paid opportunities for Trans+ creatives. Get your pitches in!

We’re looking for more London venues for our social calendar. Ideally community owned and central. Know a place? Please share!

‘For us as a community and an industry, this isn’t just another scandal; it’s a wake-up call’ @outvertising.bsky.social uk.themedialeader.com/we-need-an-e...

"Human epitome of masculinity Mark Zuckerberg saw an opportunity to strike a nail in TikTok’s coffin and cosy up to Donald Trump, at the bargain price of throwing LGBTQIA+ communities under the bus." Strong words by @outvertising.bsky.social's Sonnie Spenser. uk.themedialeader.com/we-need-an-e...

🧵Last week, Meta announced a number of drastic changes to its Hateful Conduct Policy that intentionally enables harmful content against LGBTQIA+ people, denies their existence, and fuels hate.
