Zara Bryson is a Strategy & Innovation Director at Publicis Media. She works on the PG One team, an interdependent powerhouse of media, creative and PR specialists, voted Campaign’s Agency Team of the Year (Innovation) this year.

Her nerdy (and proud!) love of maths and study of law developed Zara into a collaborative, strategic problem-solver. She values lifting others up, encouraging curiosity and fostering a compassionate, fun, growth mindset culture.

She is Co-Head of Strategy at Bloom UK, an amazing volunteer-led network of 180+ women in the communications industries, championing the real voices of women and focused on spearheading positive industry change and paying it forward to the next generation.

This year Zara founded a biweekly podcast - Who's Next with Zara Bryson - shining a light on brilliant women to champion them and for others to learn from. Each guest pays it forward to someone who inspired them. She’s a big advocate of practising ‘Shine Theory’, perfectly captured in the immortal words of Lizzo ‘If I'm shinin', everybody gonna shine’.
