Ali Hanan

Ali Hanan is a creative director who has worked in advertising for more than 15 years at some of London’s top digital agencies. She has worked with the world’s biggest global brands, including Nike, Dulux, Guinness, Max Factor, Philips and many, many more.
Over the years, she noticed how little the industry – and award panels – has changed in terms of female representation. Her research with recruitment agencies revealed how few women make it to CD level, despite starting out in equal numbers.
Her hope is that with more female CDs curating the ads women see, we may create a new type of advertising that inspires female consumers, portraying a strong, positive image of women in the media.
