Andy‘s PERSONAL DEVELOPMENTInclusion knows no boundaries. With Rebecca VickersThis skill set extends to my work in setting up simple systems that help scale teams and businesses. My marketing and agency experience with perhaps the unpopular perspective that most agencies don’t know how to market themselves. I also believe the marketing industry should be a collaborative space where we exchange ideas, experiment, and innovate. Creating an environment of support space rather than as rivals only builds a stronger, more vibrant, and more creative industry where everyone can succeed.#Inclusion#Diversity #Equality #InclusiveLeadership #GlobalInclusion #Empowerment
