In this week’s Fast 10, our very own Greg ‘Sparrow’ Graham sat down to talk with Marilla Akkermans, founder and managing director of Equality Media + Marketing, a full-service indie offering strategy, creative and media services. She has also held roles as comms director, account director, and marketing manager across Hatched Media, Nunn Media, Metricon, and Maxus. When she founded Equality, Akkermans put company culture at the forefront of her priorities, and she’s seen that pay off over time. You’ve had a brilliant career, from Maxus days to client side, and fast forward to founder/MD of Equality Media + Marketing. I’ve realised since running Equality that culture has to be something you work on from the very beginning and be purposeful about.
