PR experts Ann Marie Clarke and Ana Addai have launched a new boutique consultancy, Inclusive Consultancy, helping businesses and brands in the fashion and creative industries to embed equality into the care of what they do. Between them Ann Marie and Ana have over three decades of experience in fashion, marketing and advertising, helping to build brands such as Gap, Arcadia, Debenhams and Virgin.

With a focus on supporting organisations to tackle race and gender equality challenges within the modern workplace, the founders are joined by specialist consultants covering areas including HR, Mental Health and Wellbeing and PR & Communications. HR lead, Taj Amani Foster brings a wealth of experience from global matrix multinational organisations, whilst former Diageo and Ogilvy Brand Communications specialist, Nneoma Ulu will support in helping businesses to unlock the power of communication internally and externally to supercharge their equality positioning. 

Ann Marie comments, “Against a backdrop of heightened awareness of racial tensions and inequalities, the Inclusive Consultancy is an external solution to truly affect change. We are uniquely positioned with personal experiences of being the “only one” around the table to combine both fashion and creative industry context with diversity expertise to drive more accurate reflections of the communities in which we live and work.”

Inclusive Consultancy is already working with a luxury women's fashion and lifestyle online media brand and an entrepreneurial marketeer network. More details to follow.
