Shout! Communications Sponsors Women In PR Summer Party
It was a privilege for us to sponsor the Women in PR Summer Party his year. Shout! Communications has supported WIPR for a number of years, across different events, but the Summer Party is always our favourite!
What more could you want on a balmy, summer evening but a roof top venue, a spicy margarita and some great conversations with both people you've known for years alongside some new faces.
There's a serious side too. It's not that we want to rule out half the population, but Women in PR does offer a haven for women to talk about women issues. The organisation's latest campaign is a prime example of this. "The True Cost of PR's Invisible Workforce" highlights how women caregivers shoulder the burden of home responsibilities, as parents and carers, often to the detriment of their career.
Research commissioned by Women in PR highlights how women carry a disproportionate amount of caregiving responsibilities - a staggering 83% of women questioned say this has affected their career progression, significantly higher than the national average of 45%.
The sombre message however did not detract from a great evening of networking and merriment at Second Home in Spitalfields - a pleasure for us to have got involved.
