#364 Adeline Dechaud

March 6, 2019

First of all, her name starts with AD, which is definitely a sign. She breathes advertising. She's an amazing and hardworking creative (Art Director), School of Communication Arts alumni, was part of Cream 2018 and is currently on a placement at Wonderhood with her copywriter. But she's so much more than advertising; she's French and loves her cheese, she isn't afraid to speak her mind, she even art directs her outfits (monochrome), she draws doodles in her free time (Instagram: gallikeads.ai), she tattoos herself and other people, she's passionate about supporting women in the advertising world, and she knows the lines of Nothing Beats a LDNR by heart which is impressive.

#347 Isabel Rodríguez

February 17, 2019

Isa is an advertising creative currently based in London, although if you blink while reading this she may already be on the other side of the world. Originally from Spanish countryside town Almendralejo, though Alm (as some may call it) soon became too small for her and she moved to Seville to study a Bachelor in Advertising and PR. Since then she's lived in Nijmegen, Bratislava and now London, doing incredible work in award-winning agencies such as Zaraguza and Ogilvy. She leaves a mark wherever she goes.

If you see a massive amount of curls walking your way it's probably her. Her crazy curly hair is a trademark in itself. Whether these curls have anything to do with her creativity still has to be proved, but I am ready to stand by this theory. She's a fast fresh thinker, always ready for action, meticulous and perfectionist in all she does but resolved enough to see it through. She will turn even the most boring brief into the coolest idea you can ever imagine.

#344 Chelly Brown

February 14, 2019

Chelly is a creative Copywriter with experience writing for The Royal Navy, The National Trust and Orange.

Making words matter, when and where they need to, has been making her tick for as long as she can remember. Chelly believes words are communication above anything else and writing words that help and talk to real people are the ones that matter most.

That could be giving a voice to a start-up, or devising a campaign for a well-off-the-blocks big name brand. And everything in between.

#336 Cheyanne-Joni Morris

February 6, 2019

CJ recently relocated from Leeds to London to snap up a job working in TV at Channel 4, after working in media buying and planning in Leeds. CJ's big on writing - after graduating from English Literature in 2016, she successfully got a short story published and has been writing ever since. She likes to draw inspiration from everything around her - books, films, art, culture - meaning she's inunudated with inspiration in London now.

As well as working at Channel 4, her side hustle is a blog called Balling on a Budget, advising others on how to save money and still have fun whilst living in London. She's also writing a novel and writes many short stories in her spare time - basically, if there's anything you want written, she'll write it.

She's a smart and creative and friendly and at the beginning of her media career - a budding badass gal if you will.

#241 Fiora MacPherson

November 3, 2018

Fiora MacPherson is a highly versatile Technology Strategist working at Digitas in London, creating digital products and experiences for a variety of clients, including Formula 1 and Sky. A true hybrid, Fiora is able to operate across multiple disciplines from technology to creative, not only gluing disparate teams together, but also providing a strategic product view with an instinctive sense of customer needs and associated business value.

As a technologist Fiora has a keen sense of the importance of technology trends, frequently acting as a herald for what’s on the horizon. This far-seeing eye, which provides valuable insight for colleagues and clients, is an integral part of the way Fiora thinks and contributes to a forward-thinking creative mind set.

Moreover, no matter how busy she gets, Fiora is always willing to help and encourage those around her, inspiring them to be the best versions of themselves and recognising that the collective trumps the individual. One example of this is her advocacy for equality, where her actions and positive attitude have helped to catalyse both perception and policy changes.

She is a badass Creative Director that runs her team like a G, she is supportive and nurturing of young talent and she worked hard to get to where she is today. Alongside the world of advertising she also takes on the male dominated world of Football as the editorial director of This Fan Girl, a female focused football collective (you should check them out). So in between taking on the football patriarchy and producing creatively mind-blowing campaigns - she also teaches feminism at home and practices positivity for all. If you try and knock her down, she gets right back up. And her cat is awesome.
