Up Close & Up Late
In conjunction with The AADC and OohMedia, She Creates are pumped to present ‘Up Close and Up Late’ with Chiquita King.
Chiquita (or CK, amongst friends) has had quite the career in the creative sphere. But as we all know, a career intertwines with a life. CK’s has had many fascinating twists and turns from resigning as CEO from one of the longest established public relations and social media agencies in Sydney after just two weeks, to starting her own powerhouse independent creative agency. From soaring highs, like winning Entrpreneur of the Year to unthinkable challenges, like navigating the depths of grief alongside being a mother of three. She’s seen, experienced and grown from a lot. And we’re fortunate enough that she wants to share that journey with our creative community of women.
We’ll explore and learn from her expertise as we stay up late and get up close. CK will provide a short keynote and then, we’ll open the floor to your burning questions about a creative career, mindset and life. Of course, we’ll give you time to mingle with your fellow industry friends and peers both before and after the presentation.

Meet our Speaker
Co-Founder and MD of Sydney-based agency Cocogun, and Women in Media Entrepreneur of the Year, CK delivers bold, purpose-driven creativity that puts people first. She will talk, with a rare transparency, about her journey through some of the world's best independent and network agencies. Her reflections on a career in creativity - the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens - are equal parts surprising, sobering, and contagiously inspiring.
