TishTash, the award-winning, UAE agency leaders in female focused brand PR and communications will host “It’s a Girl Thing. Period” on Tuesday June 29th, in a first of its kind, one day virtual event designed to tackle the taboo issues of menstrual and feminine health for women of every age and stage of life.

Periods can make people feel uncomfortable – but talking about them shouldn’t be. The average woman menstruates for 3,000 days during her lifetime – the equivalent of 8.2 years. There’s no denying that menstruation is a big part of life and it’s essential that society makes that ‘time of the month’ and everything that goes with it a more manageable, open, and shame-free process.

Featuring a back-to-back schedule of interactive sessions from 9am through to 8.30pm and with the support of event sponsors The Body Shop, Nabta Health and SEVA, the day will focus on all aspects of menstrual, womb and vaginal health issues, to help females of any age – with expert input and discussions.

Held virtually on June 29th, “It’s a Girl Thing. Period” is free to attend and open to everyone and participants can dip in and out of the daily sessions as they wish and you can register for the sessions you’d like to attend below:

Integrated marketing communications agency, TishTash Marketing and Public Relations, has had a very successful start to the year with a plethora of new and exciting wins, as well as scooping the best Medium Consultancy accolade at the PRCA PR Awards 2021. This period of growth and new business wins has resulted in an ever-expanding team of talented new hires, to accompany their already established key team members with PR Director Scarlett Sykes. 

The most recent appointment is Scarlett Sykes, who joins the company as a PR Director. Scarlett has over 14 years’ experience in the region, during which time she has launched and retained some of the biggest international and home-grown brands & concepts in the region, including Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE, Gemfields, The OZEN Collection (Maldives), Sofitel Dubai The Palm, Les Mills and Asprey to name a few.  

Scarlett joins TishTash not only to work across their portfolio of PR clients but to bring to life a long-standing dream launch of something very different for the company, which will be announced very soon.  

Founder and CEO Natasha Hatherall-Shawe said of the appointment, “The last two years have been an exciting period of growth for TishTash, going from a small boutique agency to a mid-size agency. Our recent agency wins both on a new business front and from an agency perspective have highlighted that our team truly are one of the best in the region. Scarlett is a very welcome addition to that team and brings with her amazing strengths across key categories such as leisure and lifestyle. She will play an integral role in our continued efforts to provide best in class, results driven work for our portfolio of global and local clients as well as supporting our efforts into new areas for the TishTash brand as a whole’.

In an exciting period of growth and change at TishTash, Polly Williams has been promoted to Managing Director from immediate effect. 

Polly joined TishTash in 2016 when she moved to Dubai after working in marketing and communication roles with some of the biggest beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands around the world in London and Asia including P&G and LVMH.  Since joining TishTash, Polly has helped grow revenue for the agency and scale the team, playing a key role in launching the agency’s second specialist team and little sister TishTash Tots in autumn 2016.

Polly will continue to work alongside Tash running the agency, overseeing all new business and daily operations in the client teams.  As a busy juggling mum of 2 she is also a passionate advocate for honest parenting and flexible working for all.

Of her promotion Polly Said ‘I truly believe that TishTash is one of the most exceptional communications agencies in the GCC. Tash has created an agency unlike anything I have had the pleasure of being a part of. Our team is passionate about everything they do and as an agency we are always looking to innovate and deliver for our clients I could not be more proud of what we have achieved in the last few years and there are some amazing things in the pipeline for us which I can’t wait to share.’
