With 17 years of experience in various advertising roles, Brandi emphasizes the concept of "agency" as an empowering action to take control of one's career, narrative, and brand. Brandi then shares some personal stories of advocating for herself such as balancing work and personal responsibilities, standing up to biases, and navigating workplace challenges. She also stresses the importance of being surrounded by mentors, sponsors, and advocates, while underscoring the value of having a strategic career plan, rather than simply going with the flow.
