For this issue of System Changers I spoke with Jen Lewis who is Co-Founder of Lex, the app for finding LGBTQ+ friends and queer community (update: check out Jen’s SubstackDiary of a Queer CEO). Jen and I met when I was looking for a job in advertising right at the beginning of my career. We had a fun, challenging conversation over a coffee a few doors down from the agency she worked for, Wieden+Kennedy. I really admired this agency and their work, so I was nervous and eager to perform. I’ve never forgotten her asking me how I’d brand loo roll in a compelling way and thinking, “AAHH I can’t lose this opportunity because of loo roll,” as I worked out how to respond! I must have said something right because I got through to an interview with her boss, and subsequently joined the planning team at W+K.
