Felt cute. Might delete later.... 🪜💛 Super excited to bring some first-timers to HubSpot's INBOUND 24. (And one seasoned vet. 👋) We're checking out the deep dives, educational sessions, and the Main Stage. Might see a friend tomorrow 👀

Full and overflowing. That’s how I wanted the Chicago Bootcamp attendees to feel at the end of the day. And that’s just what I am, full, overflowing, and grateful beyond words for the 100+ humans who joined us on our 5th bootcamp, and first event in Chicago. Thank you to everyone who popped out and showed out from our attendees, to our AMAZING session leaders, volunteers, friends, and especially our dedicated and committed sponsors. One of my intentions for our events is to ensure that our humans feel a sense of belonging, brave, celebrated, safe, seen, heard, valued and welcomed along with letting everyone know that The Creative Ladder is committed to making creative careers more accessible and inclusive for us. We’re bridging the gap on illustrating to the industry that it’s not a talent deficit, but rather an opportunity deficit, and I couldn’t be more proud of the community we’re building. Oh, and you know I made sure everyone in attendance checked their voter registration and/or registered to vote! 🗳️ Special, special thanks to Jennifer Healan and presenting sponsor, McDonald's, as well as to Hilton, Capital One, Shopify, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy, VaynerMedia, MNTN and The One Club for Creativity for helping to make Chicago so special. Grateful is an understatement. Stay tuned! There's so much more to come. #professionaldevelopment #advertising #marketing #nextgen #leadership

Last Friday, I had the amazing opportunity to attend The Creative Ladder ‘s Chicago Bootcamp at the LondonHouse, and it was a day full of learning and inspiration! 🙌 From insightful sessions with industry leaders like Jennifer Healan (McDonald’s), Jill Lyons (Maximum Effort), and AJ Hassan (Capital A) to connecting with talented local creatives, the day was packed with valuable takeaways and reminders to stay authentic to yourself in your work. ✨ Huge thanks to Creative Ladder & the sponsors for supporting the next generation of leaders in advertising & production! 💡 I encourage everyone to take a look at the org & their work to find ways to get involved.
