Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from one of the advertising industry’s most prominent matriarchs globally.

Jane Evans was 20 years old when she landed her first job as a junior art director at London hot shop Leagas Delaney.

In 1987 she was headhunted out to Sydney. In the first ten years of her career she was the first girl in the creative department three times.

She was handcuffed and carted into the back of a Paddy Wagon saying, "But I'm wearing Zampatti darling, one simply can't be committed in Zampatti!"

She launched Microsoft Word v1.

She gave Cate Blanchett her first job granting her three wishes from the Tim Tam genie.

She got Sydneysiders onside to host the Olympics.

She headed the team tasked with explaining how digital would affect Kodak (they didn’t listen).

She made the first ads to show a divorced couple, an unmarried couple living together, and men doing the laundry.

She set up her own agency with clients like Revlon, Maserati and the Guide Dog Association.

And she gave us James Squire Beer.

Then she disappeared off to London and became completely invisible.

Then invaluable.

Now she’s coming back and bringing all the tea.
