Kelli Hammersmith’s Post

I love an event where women can chat, network and learn from each other. Even better when there is delicious food, drinks and setting! I've been to the The In Good. events two or three times before and they're great! It's so great to be surrounded by amazing women. I was delighted to be invited to be one of the panellists at this month's event. Thank you Nic Sowden and Rachel Hirst for thinking of me. For me, following their questions, here are a few things that ring true to my career and life experience: - If you find something that you love that you can turn into a business idea, then go for it if you can! - I've never felt 100% confident with decisions I make, but I think that is healthy. I don't ever want to be in a place where I don't feel that I have things to learn from others - As a women, you can feel pitted against others, but Zoe and I work hard to ensure that our workplace nurtures everyone's paths. For team recruitment, the most important pre requisite for us is that you are personable and friendly. All other skills can be taught - I probably don't do enough self care, but I enjoy the simple things in life: my family, friends, the outdoors, a good pub lunch and occasional hot tub! - I've heard that it's not a good idea to set up a business with someone else, not least your family, but definitely not your in laws! But Zoe and I work perfectly as Co Founders! Utilising separate skills, sharing the workload and always being there for each other when we need to decompress. - I couldn't imagine doing anything else but @Zebedee. It's my absolute passion, and without this passion, and the passion of the team and talent, we wouldn't be where we are today, as it still remains ridiculously difficult to get clients to either understand why they should be inclusive, or take the step to be so. You can watch this clip to find out a little more about why and how we set up Zebedee. #WomenInBusiness #Sheffield #CreativeIndustry

I'm overwhelmed as I announce the Edition 2 of Eventpreneur's Power Women Award today. In our new 2.0 edition, we are bigger, louder, wider and so so much prouder!!! This award is a much needed recognition of the extraordinary women & agencies creating impact in Events, Marketing & Communications. I had to fight very hard for this to happen this year. Truly a result of blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears (maybe one day i will tell you the story). As a woman, I am by default the primary caregiver to my family. I'm also extremely ambitious. My personal life and my work are something i must balance every single day. Is it truly more challenging for me to grow? Oh Yes, you bet it is. I've had to make too many choices and I have borne the brunt of those choices (still continue to, every day). But still, i persevere. Still, I Rise :-) This award, is for women like me. If you are a woman in the 3 interlinked streams of Events, Marketing, or Comms - this is truly your time to unapologetically, SHINE!

In a hyper-growth environment, where challenges come fast and frequently, our company values serve as the guiding star for both leadership and the team. These values are not just words on paper; they help us navigate complexities, make decisions, and maintain our integrity, ensuring we stay true to who we are as we continue to grow and evolve. In today's world, companies need to take a values-driven approach and connect the idealistic and visionary nature of company values to practical, tangible activities that engage the entire employee base - implementing them into their vision, business strategies, and internal practices to drive diversity, inclusion, and people growth. The way we, both as individuals and as a company, uphold these values is the most significant driver of our impact. It is inspiring to see how our focus on values empowers us to leverage our content, technology, and global platform to make a meaningful difference within our workforce, our communities, and the industry at large. We are committed to ensuring the authenticity of our efforts by first implementing our impact-driven initiatives internally, before extending these efforts externally. Today, we are excited to share our first impact report, summarizing 2023, as a testament to our commitment to these values. A few examples detailed in the report, which I am very proud of, include: • Establishing mentoring programs to support the growth of women into leadership roles • Creating an Interactive Inclusive Writing Guide for our brands • Amplifying underrepresented voices in sports through our #HereToStay campaign  • Fostering inclusion in sports through partnership with Special Olympics  • Tutoring youth from underserved communities through our partnership with Hinuch Le-Psgaot I believe that one of the things that make all of that so inspiring is the fact that there are so many people across the company who are committed and actively contribute to this incredible impact: My true partner, our CEO, Asaf Peled, our CMO,Andres Cardenas and the rest of the executive team who lead the way, our brands who tell the authentic stories, The Players’ Tribune, 90min, FanSided and Mental Floss; our ERGs (Natalie Zamora; Katherine O'Malley Randall; Sarah Recinos; @Luis Tirado) and my People & Culture team that I'm so proud of and who stand behind so many initiatives making these projects possible (Mor Green;Sarah C.;Maya Shavit;Tom Spada;Hillary Bystedt;Serena Muniz; Hila Shrama;Yoav Stern; Nofar Nuri Poterman; Adam Ahmad Masry; Nikkita De Cesare (Assoc CIPD) and Tohar Kait). And last but not least, our Head of Impact, the incredible Ayelet Mavor, who consistently drives impact initiatives and helps us tell our story through the creation of this first impact report. Looking forward to the work we will accomplish as we integrate our new teams from STN Video and Sports Illustrated into our purpose-driven work. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/d69RdPkY
