Redrawing the lines

The founders of SheSays Dubai tell Eleanor Dickinson why it’s time for adland to have its own chat about ‘locker room banter’.
“I remember once going into a room with two guys I was leading and the manager of the company walked straight past me and shook their hands,” says Elizabeth Dewar, of an especially awkward client meeting. “This was even though it was me who had been communicating on email, so he should have been looking for a woman. It actually happened to me twice with the same company. It goes to show you just how much people listen,” she adds, grimacing slightly.
Dewar, a creative at Ogilvy Dubai, is sitting opposite me in Vapiano, Media City, late after office hours.
