Australia is the most diverse country in the world, with 30% of the population born overseas, 50% with a parent born overseas, and more than 200 languages spoken at home. Yet this isn't reflected in the ad industry where just 16% of people are culturally diverse. For them, they're often the 'only one in the room'.
With a collective of other diverse ad talent, I set out to change that.
ONLY ONE IN THE ROOM is a platform designed to create a more inclusive advertising community. We're inviting like-minded individuals, agencies, brands and organisations to join us on initiatives to drive our industry forward.

The film drives to onlyoneintheroom.co where people can buy the merch featured, with proceeds going towards funding future #OOITR initiatives.
The collective has already partnered with industry publication B&T to launch the first ever Australian advertising diversity award. Additionally, a partnership with pitch consultants TrinityP3 will see the release of a diversity index in the coming months.
