The Aunties was launched in 2021. The brain child of creative, Phoebe Sloane, it was brought to life by the women of the MADC and the Aunties committee.
The Aunties is a volunteer support network for women and marginalised genders in the creative advertising and production industries. A program that aims to inspire, connect and champion women of all ages and backgrounds through tailored mentorships, seminars and networking opportunities. We believe that, collectively, we have the power to shift the dial and create an industry where gender is no barrier to success and career fulfilment.
As a founding member, I work with fellow Aunties to support the next generation of female creatives by collaborating with universities, and mentoring. We have launched a hugely popular podcast, 'Mums on Call', and celebrated mums in advertising with our very own award series 'The mummies'. In 2024 The Aunties launched Support talk in collaboration with Women's Health Victoria. A how-to on responding to disclosures for mentors.
