[Outside Voice](https://open.spotify.com/genre/0JQ5DAqbMKFM2pBknOqpiz) is back for its fourth season. Spotify Advertising’s long-running annotated playlist series amplifies the voices, perspectives and opinions of professionals from historically underrepresented communities across the creative and marketing industries—and this year it returns ahead of Cannes Lion 2023 where it will take centre stage.
As always, each episode of Outside Voice invites curators to create original playlists featuring their favourite music alongside spoken-word annotations, giving listeners a chance to hear their personal stories and words of wisdom.
To kick off season four, we’ve expanded the program by partnering with leading advertising organisation WACL (Women in Advertising and Communications, Leadership), in celebration of its 100th anniversary.
WACL's growing membership counts over 250 senior women drawn from client organisations, agencies, media owners and trade bodies—and four of its most accomplished members sat down with Spotify to reflect on their own personal journeys, passions, and career highlights.
Joining us in the studio were WACL President and Co-CEO of Quiet Storm Agency Rania Robinson, former WACL President Carol Reay, WPP’s UK President Karen Blackett OBE, plus WACL VP and Google’s Senior Director of Marketing Nishma Patel Robb.
Plug into the playlists below to hear their stories—and take away actionable insights that may inspire you to speak up as an outside voice, and nurture inclusivity in your own workspace.
