Karen has been nominated to judge the Glass Lion category at Cannes 2018.
The Glass Lion is The Lion for Change; an award with the support of LeanIn.Org which specifically recognizes work that challenges gender bias and shatters stereotypical images of men and women which remain rooted in marketing messages.
Fewer than 10% of Creative Director positions are held by women, as such Karen is and has been a longtime vocal advocate of gender equality. She is also one of the few female Creative Directors in the world.
