Diageo has been announced as the exclusive sponsor of the briefs for the Creative Equals 'Returners' scheme called #CreativeComeback. The scheme is designed to support women in the creative industries in the UK as they return to work after a career break of at least 12 months.

The programme, backed by the UK Government Equalities Office, will see 50 women returning to work as art directors, producers, copywriters, data analysts, designers and concept creators take part in a two-week programme that ultimately aims to help place them back into work.

The eight-day training programme will run over International Women's Day in March. The first week will focus on bringing the cohort up to speed on all the latest creative and tech developments. The second week will see the group working on briefs for two of Diageo's iconic global brands - Baileys and Guinness. This will be followed by a four-day programme in Manchester from March 19-22.

Following the programme, returners will then go on a 2-6-week placement or a flexible job with one of the Creative Equals founding partners and will be supported by a dedicated coach throughout.
