The Keywords Studios partnership with Women in Games to sponsor the Individual Ambassador Programme represents a core element of our wider DEIB strategy,” said Trina Marshall, group director, client service delivery and capability and group director, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Keywords Studios.
“For Keywords, being able to work alongside and learn from the team at Women in Games is a huge privilege. The partnership will without doubt enrich our DEIB and Talent Attraction and Retention efforts as we continue to grow.”
“Our mission at Women in Games is to create new pathways, synergies, initiatives, activities and services, which foster opportunities that empower girls and women. We do this by bringing together agents of change, advocates, men and boys, champions, experts, grass-roots organisations and others for new dialogues and campaigns focussed on shared solutions towards fairness and equality for all.” said Marie-Claire Isaaman, CEO of Women in Games.
“Our partnership with Keywords Studios is a big part of fulfilling this mission, and key to the success of our vibrant and impactful Individual Ambassador Programme.”
