One of the best!
Super sharp, an absolute professional and great to work with.
We miss you!
Never met Sian and I’m sure she’s good and sure she’s worked hard to get to where she is.
But just like the other thousand people in our industry.
Will we focus on the unheralded suits, the production protagonists or the planning preachers that keep this industry rolling on – or are we just looking at ‘women in creative’
Oh I think I’ve just nailed rhetoric. And also why this industry is so Poo.
Eat Poo.
Sian you legend!
Sian is great. Endless amounts or energy, enthusiasm and excitement.
Hi Sian. You’re the best. And famous now. Miss you.
You know what makes this industry poo?
People who think it’s poo but still feel the need to shit all over an article series on a creative blog championing women in creative.
Get a life mate.
Why can’t we spotlight all creatives? Why do they have to be women?
Oh… because they’re “repressed”.
Love your work, Sian!
Have had the pleasure of working with her, but she certainly doesn’t stay anywhere for long?
Probably because she’s super smart and gets the hell out of a joint when the entitled d*ckhead quota is exceeded.
Congrats, Sian. I miss working with you.
Mr/Ms Shaker made a reasonable observation on Sian’s tenure over her past few jobs.I wondered the same thing.It certainly didn’t deserve the vitriolic and patronising response it received from @shaker.Can we be just a little civil.
One of the best around. Wants to make work that makes a difference, not just stuff that pollutes. I miss her in my world. Her lightness of touch. Be more Sian I say.
@ shaker and your mate Zulu
5 years y&r
7 at Bmf
What constitutes “long” for you exactly?
To be fair to the commentators the CV, as shown, read BMF 2 years and there was no mention of Sian’s 5 years at Y&R.So that’s now clarified.Just don’t get the big attitude on what was a somewhat innocuous remark.
