Jane Evans. Gives Us Hope In a World Gone Mad.
Jane Evans has always been radical. She created the first ad to show a divorced couple. The first to show a couple living together. The first where men did housework – and did it well. She launched James Squire, Australia’s first craft beer, and gave us the Tim Tam Genie, a campaign that is still running more than 30 years later.
When she ‘aged out’ of the advertising industry, she began campaigning fearlessly for midlife women. Through the Uninvisibility campaign, the Visible Start programme to get women back into the workforce, and her bestselling book Invisible to Invaluable: Unleashing the Power of Midlife Women, written with Carol Russell, she changed the narrative around age, value and visibility.
Now she uses all her skills to build community and create new narratives. She has launched and explained every major tech advancement since the dawn of computing, so she is used to translating what’s coming next. And her uncanny knack for predicting the future has proved correct time and time again.
Which is why she set up the 7th Tribe. She saw what was heading our way. She also saw the solution. The world needs a powerful matriarchy to balance the patriarchal madness that seems to be everywhere right now. She has created a platform where matriarchs can gather, learn and take action — and she is taking to stages worldwide to tell a story of what the world could be like if it were designed as it should be.
For all of us.
JANE SPEAKS ABOUT UNHEARD HISTORY, THE FUTURE, ADVERTISING, PROPAGANDA, TECH AND THE POWER OF MATRIARCHY.

Fire side chat about Jane's advertising career and a message for the future.
"Talking about a career as being the first women in a creative department, pushing clients to take risks, to get the results they employed the agency for and how women need to back each other more - it’s not a competition, we’re all on the same side."
A STRATEGY FOR WORLD PEACE.
Jane presents a three phase strategy to build a better world.
"Jane is a one-of-a-kind brave and disruptive voice that MUST be listened to. Jane gave the entire audience goosebumps. She combined history with passion and humanity and I honestly wish that every woman in the world was able to hear that speech."
HUMANS VS THE LINKEDIN ALGORITHM, WHO''S WINNING?
Jane Evans and Matt Lawton report on a year's work with their Fairness In the Feed Campaign to question bias in the LinkedIn algorithm (video to come).
"Jane’s talk in Cairns was incredible and infuriating and enraging. I’m now telling everyone who’ll listen all about the serious bias in the algorithm that hides women, promotes men and is being denied by LinkedIn."
"Very rarely has time stood still for me during a keynote, but it did when Jane spoke. She has amazing stage presence, charisma and moreover has a message and mission the world needs to hear about. Within 2 mins of Jane taking the stage at the Unlikeable Women's summit in London, I knew that travelling over 2,000 miles to see her present, was a worthwhile trip. I nodded, I cheered, I clapped and I wept. She is a world-class speaker, one which will elevate any stage she steps upon.
