Last week's Women of the Future Programme Summit 2025, held fittingly on the International Day of Happiness, was a powerful reminder of the importance of community, kindness, and empathy in times of uncertainty. With this year’s theme, "Let’s Get Radical," the summit explored the paradox of rapid technological advancements versus slow progress in critical areas like the climate crisis and gender equality. Inspiring leaders shared bold ideas and daring actions to drive real, measurable change - because it’s no longer about discussion but scalable solutions with new allies and partners. From Dex Hunter-Torricke on how to create transformative change for a better world, Sama Trinder on building resilience, to Elif Shafak on storytelling, and a thought-provoking conversation between former Prime Minister of Australia The Hon. Julia Gillard AC and Jennifer Nadel FRSA - all expertly hosted by Kate Quilton. The day was nothing short of inspirational. Alongside deep discussions, we explored practical tools - how to tap to stop stress, leverage AI effectively, and draw wisdom from past lessons while safeguarding the future. We are proud to be part of these important conversations, with our UK Managing Partner, Branka O., and Partner, Katie Warwick, representing Hall & Partners at the summit. A huge thank you to Pinky Lilani CBE DL, Jules Chappell OBE, Imraan Lilani, and the entire Women of the Future Programme team for an incredible summit and the ongoing work they do!

Overtourism is reshaping the travel landscape - are brands keeping up? Nearly two-thirds of UK consumers avoid destinations due to overcrowding, yet many travel brands still prioritize high visitor numbers over sustainable tourism.  In his latest piece, Kurt Stuhllemmer, Partner at Hall & Partners, explores how brands can navigate the tensions between commercial success and responsible tourism. From cruise companies to short-stay rentals and airlines, it’s time for the industry to lead, not follow.

Closing the gender gap: Brands have played a key role but there is still more that can be done In advance of International Women’s Day tomorrow, our UK partners Branka O. and Katie Warwick popped into the iconic AdWomen exhibit at the Museum of Brands in West London which was generously supported by WACL (Women in Advertising & Communications Leadership ), Advertising Association, ISBA and the IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising). It was particularly impressive to see how we are now talking openly about women’s health, representing more diverse women in beauty, showcasing different types of family groups and dynamics for household products, and acknowledging that women can and do achieve success in sport. From Prudential’s We Wanna Be Together advert in 1991 aimed at women taking control of their own finances to the brilliantly funny Maltesers ads that focused on helping women keep their waistlines and their men happy, to a decade of Sports England’s This Girl Can campaign, there are some great examples of the brands that have worked relentlessly to bridge the gender divide and empower a generation of women. You can really see how much progress has been made. Despite this, gender inequality sadly persists and the consequences can be linked to real world harm. Gender is also more complicated and brands need to navigate that changing landscape and stay true to the human truths that connect them in a relevant way with consumers. Because we believe that women should be considered every day, we’ll be creating a series of thought provoking commentary and essential guidelines over the next few months for brands who want to do more to ensure that their representation of women as well as increasingly different, multi-generational and diverse households is going in the right direction.

How should brands celebrate anniversaries - by looking back or using the moment to build future momentum?    The best celebrations go beyond nostalgia, turning milestones into meaningful customer experiences. Whether it’s easyJet personalizing travel memories, Nike championing the next generation of athletes, or Pandora launching collectible anniversary editions, the most successful brands make it about their consumers, not just their own legacy.   Farid Jeeawody, Partner at Hall & Partners, explores how brands can leverage anniversaries to drive engagement, strengthen loyalty, and future-proof their relevance.    Read more to discover the strategies that make brand birthdays worth celebrating. https://lnkd.in/emPRsvKw Escalent | C Space   #BrandAnniversary #Marketing #BrandStrategy

Is your brand tracking helping you make important decisions?

Has creativity become the roadkill of advertising? As brands race for short-term results, creative brilliance is often left in the dust. Pre-testing has become more about passing "tests" than pushing boundaries. It's time to shift the narrative and champion creativity, with consumer insights driving the process, not stifling it.
