Celebrating Pride at We Are Social

People & Culture 3 Jul 2024

This June we celebrated Pride month with a mix of activities throughout the month, including an insightful Lunch & Learn panel, celebrating our favourite LGBTQ+ icons and having a blast at our Pride social. 

Celebrating LGBTQ+ icons 🤩

We asked the agency to share their inspirational LGBTQ+ icons and why they mean so much to them. We shared these on our Instagram Stories throughout June – make sure to check them out on our People highlight. We also sat down with some of the agency to talk more about their icons on TikTok.
