✨Huddle 2024 ✨
Huddle 2024 has officially come to an end, and what a day it was!
This year, with the theme of ‘Innovating for Good Growth’, we went bigger and better than ever. With insightful sessions, interactive workshops, networking, and epic Off Huddle activities, it was a truly special day. We even introduced our brand new Innovation Lab filled with the latest tech!
Some key highlights from the day include:
✨ Discussing the emerging podcast industry with @spotify and @garylineker
✨ @itv , @amychilds1990 , and @mrharryderbidge taught us that Hun culture is all about being fun, silly, and glam
✨ Learning from @the_dsc_uk and @purplegoatagency how to build meaningful connections with diverse audiences year round
✨ A wellness lounge offering massages to decompress thanks to @sambatv
✨ Testing out our skills on @tiktok ’s shuffleboard
✨ Meeting @wpp ’s Spot the robot dog
✨ Trying the latest @snapchat AR Spectacles for an AR experience
These are just a few highlights from the many incredible sessions and experiences we enjoyed at Huddle. Countless others inspired us, sparked our drive for innovation, and offered fresh insights that we’ll carry forward.
We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all our speakers, clients, and media partners for being part of Huddle, and of course to everyone who came along.
See you all again next year 💜

Yesterday, our ADAM Employee Resource Group partnered with @tiktok_uk and @hearstuk for a panel on Men’s Health in support of Men’s Health Week.
The session spotlighted essential topics such as nutrition, exercise, and general wellbeing, offering practical advice for living a balanced life while addressing the unique health challenges men face.
A special thank you to our inspiring speakers for leading this open and honest conversation, and for reminding us all the importance of taking care of our health.

Today, Mindshare Unite hosted “Pride on the Podium” — a powerful panel discussion in honour of International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).
This event brought together inspiring voices from LGBTQIA+ inclusive sports clubs across the UK to discuss queer inclusivity in sport — a space where discrimination is still far too common.
🗣️ A heartfelt thank you to our brilliant panellists:
Amy Lester, Goal Diggers FC
Kate Nicholson-Russel, Mindshare WW & London Otters Rowing Club
Lucy Cooper, Dykes Who Hike
Yasmin Message, Dykes Who Hike
Richard Hartley-Parkinson, Metro
Tanya Maxwell, Mindshare UK (host)
They shared their personal stories of inclusion, resilience, and advocacy, followed by a rich Q&A that highlighted the importance of visibility and belonging in every arena — from hiking trails to football fields to newsrooms.
Today’s conversation reminded us of how far we’ve come — and how far we still have to go.
#TeamMindshare are wishing you a Happy Easter 🐣🌼
Our offices will be closed from 3pm today through to Tuesday 22nd April, as our employees take some time to relax and recharge.
Enjoy the long weekend and we’ll see you soon!
Who has the best sense of humour? 😆
The launch event for Shaping The Nation, our new report with sister agency @mindshareuk and partners @channel5_tv@blis_global@captify@jcdecaux_uk@mobsta_ltd@weare_reach@sky_uk , uncovered a plethora of insights into location and how it ties into our sense of identity, feelings, and behaviours.

Earlier this year, we hosted our third intake of Future Frontiers students for their 4-week careers exploration programme! 📚
Coaches across #TeamMindshare volunteered to support a group of Year 10 students, helping them explore specific job sectors and roles that aligned with their personal values and goals. In the final session, students had conversations with a professional from their chosen field.
We’re super proud to be a Future Frontiers partner, and after some overwhelmingly positive feedback from both coaches and students, we are looking forward to continuing our partnership in 2026 💜
Shout-out to Hannah Cunningham, Bethany Livermore, Natasha Irwin, Talal Al-Mohamed, Felix Cooney, Charlie Rodgers, Gianina Mesina, Polly Hibbert, Roza Gallagher, Dom Karmali, Srinidhi Nagarajan, Megan Turner, Natalie Attafua, Simran Bahra, and Tash Reade for all your incredible coaching!

Last Thursday we celebrated International Women’s Day 💪
Every year, our Womxn+ Collective Group run a nomination programme to champion the women, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and transgender individuals across our clients, media partners, employees, and other @groupm_uk agencies for their achievements in inclusivity and innovation. This year we received 1,140 submissions – our most nominations yet! 🚀
To reflect this year's theme of #AccelerateAction, we held some exciting events throughout the day:
⭐️ Townhall presented by Silvia Santos, Fleur Stoppani, Victoria Cook, and Jem Lloyd-Williams to reveal the nominations and spotlights from the results.
⭐️ A panel focused on encouraging the audience to embrace the "squiggle" of career paths and see any detours as opportunities for growth. Hosted by Christianne Kemp, Chloe Davies, Takako Elliott, Jade Behr, and Alexis Faulkner.
⭐️ Tips and tricks on how to accelerate your career through confidence with Najat Ahdach, Elle Dockree, and Alannah Phillips.
⭐️ Speed Mentoring sessions with female leaders at GroupM.
