The Pressures of an Appropriate Ad Spend. As more brands move their agency capabilities in-house, the pressure is on to be more creative, efficient and genuine than ever before. After a year of moving faster than ever before, media buyers are taking a step back and recalibrating. What does that mean for the future of a media spend?

With the Covid pandemic in 2020, many of us had to innovate and pivot on the fly to survive. Digital become more important, and more prevalent in connecting with our consumers than ever before.

📌 The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is known for its hotspots and conflicts

Countries are ruled by repressive regimes that use censorship and threats to hold on to power While civil resistance movements are relentlessly being stifled, journalists are notoriously accused of blasphemy, offending the religious feelings, inciting chaos or jeopardizing national unity. They are persecuted, detained and even tortured. Women carry a double burden due to their visibly weaker position in a society. Thus, they are exposed to sexual harassment, affected by double standards at work and suffer from vicious misogynic attacks. They experience firsthand being belittled and undermined in a professional environment. CFWIJ’s @katia_mierzejewska will speak to Masana Ndinga-Kanga, Advocacy Lead for MENA & Women Human Rights Defenders of @civicusalliance about gender-based violence in the MENA region and the continuous crackdown on press freedom. Tune in into our #InstaLive on Thursday, March 4 at 2:00 PM CET.
