Trailblazing in the advertising world | Shanice Mears
At 26, Shanice is a trailblazer in her industry. Growing up in Birmingham and having studied Dance Performance, she landed in the advertising world and was spotted by her then CEO (Dan Saxby) as having great potential. She was driving initiatives around inclusion and hasn’t stopped since. Shanice and Dan decided to set up a new agency together—The Elephant Room—to embody the inclusivity they want to see in their industry. This is even more relevant today, with the Black Lives Matter movement, and Shanice is strong in her criticism of perceived advances in diversity, especially in advertising. Since launching The Elephant Room, Shanice has set the bar high and they have worked for big brands including Converse, Uber and the Prince’s Trust.
What you will hear from Shanice is a deep sense of faith in the talent around her and her desire to enable opportunity like she once experienced. She believes in community and facilitating others’ growth even if that means taking risks.
This episode, we got to chat to a fantastic Hype Collective mentor Shanice Mears. She's the co-founder and talent manager of creative agency The Elephant Room, and creator of the private email chain everyone has been talking about; The Guestlist. We discuss how to manage your time, your budget and your life whilst ‘doing the most’ in the creative industries. In this instalment, we’re joined by special guest host and managing director of Hype Collective, Simon Lucey.
Martina Gordeen talks to Shanice Mears about her journey as a creative. Together they discuss the reasons why she moved to London from Birmingham, co-founding an advertising agency and what it actually means to be Head of Talent.
