About this Event
No one makes it to the top alone. Even though it may look like a lone journey of self-accomplishment, everyone needs others to achieve success. At SheSays AMS’ next event, we'll learn from four women at the top of their game how to ask for help, who from, why, and when. We’ll hear about what stopped them, the impact it had on their career, and how paying it forward today helps others tomorrow.
Join us on 17 July (5.30-7.30pm) for insights and tips from creative industry leaders on how to navigate the world of give and take.
About Helen King, Creative Director
Helen has been working in advertising for 14 years. She’s the type of internationally awarded creative that's wheeled out when a client needs work that makes people cry, laugh, change their behaviour, feel like they're watching a blockbuster James Bond movie, or see topics with a fresh perspective.
Because Helen’s mission is to elevate underrepresented voices, everything she works on is imbued with diversity, inclusion, and equity. She works to improve representation behind the scenes, in hiring, and in helping emerging creatives. So, she's no stranger to giving and receiving help along the way.
Helen started her career in Perth, Western Australia and is now working in Amsterdam as a Creative Director.
