ABOUT US
CORE BELIEF
Confidence changes everything for people, for communities, and for cities. There’s a confidence gap that holds too many of us back. It’s the pause before speaking up, the doubt before taking that big step. But here’s the truth: the world needs what you’ve got. And so does Birmingham.
Birmingham is the UK’s second biggest city, yet it often plays the underdog overlooking its own potential. The same holds true for many women across its creative industries. But confidence is contagious. When we build it, we don’t just break barriers, we rewrite the story. Women thrive. Birmingham thrives.
We believe in the power of every woman to embrace who they are, define their own future, and positively influence the world around them.
WHY WE EXIST
BRUMWIM exists to close the confidence gap for women in marketing, for Birmingham’s creative industries, and for the city itself. We are a community built on collective action lifting each other up, sharing powerful stories, and making sure every woman has the tools to lead with confidence.
OUR COMMITMENTS
We are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive space where every member is valued, heard, and empowered. We will break down the barriers holding women back - from the pay gap, to career progression challenges, to balancing family and work. Through mentorship, professional development, and community, we’ll help women and Birmingham rise together.
HOW WE'LL DO IT
We won’t wait for change. We’ll make it happen by:
-
Sharing powerful stories: We’ll create platforms for women to share their personal and professional journeys, inspiring others to take bold steps.
-
Building confidence through action: Confidence-building workshops, mentorship opportunities, and networking events will equip women with the tools they need to lead.
-
Promoting Birmingham’s creative talent: Showcasing local work, advocating for greater recognition, and celebrating female-led innovations will elevate both women and the city.
WHY BIRMINGHAM? WHY NOW?
Birmingham deserves to see itself as more. It is a city bursting with creativity, resilience, and talent. By building the confidence of women in its creative industries, we are not just empowering individuals we’re transforming the city. Together, we can make Birmingham the hub of bold, creative leadership that it’s meant to be.
OUR CALL TO ACTION
If you’re a woman in marketing (aspiring to be or an ally), then you belong here. This isn’t just a community; it’s a movement. A movement to lift women, to elevate Birmingham, and to break through every barrier standing in our way. Join us, and let’s build a future of confidence, leadership, and impact.
