Created by women.
For women.

In 2019, a group of women from the AADC created ‘She Creates’ with the sole purpose of inspiring, promoting, connecting and representing the women of Adelaide’s creative communications industry. They knew women made up more than half of the workforce, though there wasn’t a forum to come together, recognise and celebrate each other. There are so many incredible women in Adelaide’s industry, and She Creates works hard to put a spotlight on them, share their stories and learn from them.

She Creates is an initiative of the Adelaide Advertising & Design Club (AADC). The club wanted to do and be more for the women within the industry, and as such ‘She Creates’ came to fruition in late 2019. The Club initiates and supports a wide variety of educational programs, exhibitions, publications, social events and other industry networking opportunities for the betterment of its members, and the communications industry at large.

  • Hannah Pendlebury

    CHAIR OF COMMUNICATIONS

    Hannah is a woman of many words. The hard part is getting her to stop talking. Her freelance copywriting business, Pendle to Paper, means she’s constantly finding the right words for brands and businesses across the country, in almost every format possible. Hannah’s background in PR, communications and marketing for large organisations and government agencies positions her perfectly as the new Chair of Communications for She Creates. Although a newcomer to the She Creates committee, Hannah is enthusiastic about spreading the good word. She’s passionate about many things, but uplifting women is her key focus. When she’s not waxing lyrical about feminism or the importance of etymology, you’ll find Hannah telling the stories of chefs and food personalities on her latest creative endeavour, Eat With The Podcast.
