Campaign: Faces To Watch 2022
From day one at VMLY&R, Rachel has pursued her senior analyst role with curiosity, ambition and hunger for growth. Not one to stick with the status quo, she seeks opportunities to progress herself and the business. She has been a challenger for change across every part of the agency, leading our racial equity ERG and, in the founding committee, launching our new inclusion experience practice. She champions the work, organises insightful intersectional agency events, provides safe forums to discuss complex topics and volunteers her time to lift us all up around her. Not only is Rachel a passionate co-worker, but she also has the kindest heart and infectious personality to boot. Outside work, she engages in freelance writing, and this curiosity and creative mind contribute to making her an incredible insight analyst, digging for the juiciest nuggets and helping push the work because of that.
