Ep. 24 Kimberlee Wells on leading with empathy, turning the tide on discrimination and using advertising to impact positive change for all.

Kimberlee Wells is a global trailblazer in advertising and brand marketing, has worked with Australia's largest brands including ANZ, Medibank, Qantas, Optus, Australia Post and the Federal Government, and has led ad agency, TBWA toward a values-based culture to embed more purpose in both her staff and the clients she works with.

A champion for LGBTIQ rights; women's financial inequality; and minority groups, Kimberlee was invited by the United Nations to share her positive mission on a global stage.

In this episode of Human Cogs, hosts Madeleine Grummet and Sabina Read explore who is brand Kimberlee, what really drives her, and why her early childhood experience of discrimination set a framework for fighting for injustice, the unseen and the unheard.

A force for good in business and a crusader for creativity, Kimberlee is now grappling with the loneliness of leadership, how to care for self when you’ve spent a lifetime helping others and how to put her own needs on the map.
