WOW is an online program that gives creative agencies the confidence and ways of working to maximise commercial value during negotiations. The sessions are brought to you by advertising industry veterans Rachel Mays and Emilie Douque.

Rachel and Emilie met at Wieden+Kennedy where they both led their respective departments - Business Development and Business Affairs. They both bring a sense of curiosity and humanity to the negotiation table. This has helped them work with agencies around the world to reach agreements with hundreds of globally renowned brands.
