In agencies, influence isn’t about speaking more.
It’s about whether your voice carries weight in the rooms that matter.
Too many senior women are trusted, capable, and deeply experienced – yet their ideas are softened, overlooked, or only recognised once someone else has repeated them.
Led by Janine and Fran, co-founders of HappyHQ, this free masterclass is for women in agencies who want to be deliberate about the mark they leave: the ideas they’re known for, the leadership style they embody, and the way their voice shapes decisions in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.
Together, we’ll explore how to articulate the thinking you want to be associated with, understand your natural communication style, and express your ideas with clarity and authority – without performing confidence or borrowing someone else’s voice.
This is about showing up in agency life as it actually is: creative, commercial, and political – and making sure your contribution carries the influence it deserves.
By the end of this masterclass, you’ll be able to:
- Clarify the ideas you want to be known forDefine the perspectives, judgment, and points of view you want colleagues and clients to associate with you – so your voice isn’t just present, it’s recognised.
- Use your natural style to create impactUnderstand how you already hold attention and influence in agency settings, and stop forcing yourself into leadership styles that don’t fit.
- Make your voice land with more weightShape your ideas into messages and stories that travel further, stick longer, and influence decisions in meetings, pitches, and leadership rooms.
