In this episode our guest is Shannie Mears, co-founder and head of talent at London based creative agency The Elephant Room. She’s a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, former government advisor, Adweek Future Female and 2023 Forbes 30 under 30. Formerly at GUAP as brand and talent manager she created The Blacklist, a list of 30 under 30 Black creatives and professionals across the creative industries now in its 6th year, and a former lecturer at Kingston University.
Shannie is a born entrepreneur. Her ability to build, connect and develop relationships with young people from the wider creative industries drives The Elephant Room’s talent network beyond any traditional agency’s reach.
Shannie is a window into completely untapped generation and a bridge between opportunity and people. She trys to find those people that are hungry and passionate, from the spaces and places the industry doesn’t usually look. She says that’s where the gems are.
Shannie says her success story could be so many other people success story if someone just took a chance on them, and that’s why she’s the perfect guest for this podcast.
This podcast was powered by Wonder, an independent specialist creative events agency reimagining what’s possible across business experiences. They do this by helping businesses think differently about how they connect with the people that matter to them. We hugely appreciate their support in bringing this podcast series to life.
