Brixton Finishing School
Ally Owen founded Brixton Finishing School due to the need to create a diverse and equitable talent blueprint for our industry. Its award winning family of programs finds, trains and places ‘under-represented’ talent in roles across marketing, advertising and communications ecosystem. It’s scaled to encompass the game-changing ADcademy program which gives over 2500 students a year across the UK a fairer chance to succeed, ADventure which aims to introduce our industry to 100k diverse 14-18 year olds and Visible Start for women over 45s which is fighting ageism.
Allys’ accolades include Future is Female 2022 (ADweek), Media Leader 2022 (Judges’ Choice), Campaign 2021 Female Frontiers Championing Change Honouree/Campaign ‘Trailblazer’ 2020/ BIMA 2020 Champion for Change/ AD Age 2020 ‘Woman to watch in Europe’
