Dix & Eaton client Kelly is launching a campaign in which the global staffing firm promotes a more inclusive workplace and a brighter future for young women.
“Daughters of Kelly,” which is being launched to coincide with International Women’s Day, is using social media to tell the stories of the children of Kelly employees.
As part of the #WhatsNext campaign, which runs through March, these children will share their aspirations for fulfilling careers, as well as their hopes for a world defined by equality and opportunity for all, in a series of Instagram posts.
The campaign will also share statistics about Kelly’s workforce and gender diversity across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The company, which says that more than 50 percent of its senior leaders are women, notes that the content highlights its commitment to gender equality.
Kelly says that the range of jobs open to women is continuing to expand. In 2017, the company placed a female engineering professional once every 50 minutes and a female scientific professional on the job every 23 minutes.
Established through a founding gift from 2025 Page Hall of Fame inductee and former Weber Shandwick Global CEO Andy Polansky, the fund is meant to serve as a catalyst for empowering future senior communications leaders as well as increasing the diversity in the chief communications officer pipeline.
Some well-honed communications strategies typically deployed in an activist situation must be set aside when the activist is also the founder of the company. Such situations require a more tailored response: one that respects the founder’s credibility without conceding the company’s future, addresses shareholders’ financial interests while acknowledging questions of legacy, and anticipates that the fight may be as personal and persistent as it is strategic.
Molly Fogarty, who rose to head of corporate affairs & sustainability at Nestle during a nearly 23-year stint, will join Brunswick Group as a partner in DC on Sept. 14.
Senior leaders have been exiting newly combined agencies since the wave of integrations started—the kind of departures that don't always make headlines but show up in who's running client accounts six months later.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
