Sponsor Spotlight: NM Productions

The fast-paced world of advertising can often leave little time for reflection, but The emPOWER Breakfast offers a rare space for open conversations, shared experiences, and genuine connection. It’s an initiative built on the power of community, and that’s why we’re so grateful for the support of NM Productions, one of our valued Silver Sponsors.

As a global production company, NM Productions is known for bringing ambitious creative visions to life, offering full-service production across multiple locations worldwide. But beyond their work behind the camera, they are also deeply invested in building a more inclusive and supportive industry. Their belief in collaboration, mentorship, and empowerment makes them a perfect fit for The emPOWER Breakfast.

For Tash James, Managing Director and Directors Rep, the impact of The emPOWER Breakfast is clear:

“It’s so inspiring to see the community that Athene has built. Over the last year the breakfasts have given us all a chance to take a second and remember that, even in the busy world of advertising, we’re humans at the end of the day. Each with our own flaws, backstories and plenty of funny anecdotes. It’s a privilege to support emPOWER and we can’t wait to see how it continues to grow this year.”

Founder and Executive Producer Anissa Payne, echoed this sentiment, recognising the importance of providing a space for women to support one another:

“I really admire the space and community that Athene has managed to create through the emPOWER breakfasts. As a female business owner working in the space of advertising, it's no secret that it comes with its challenges. I think as women, we all need a space to be able to support one another and Athene has created just that. We look forward to seeing where emPOWER goes this year and for many more years to come, and it's an absolute honour to be able to provide whatever support we can.”

With the backing of companies like NM Productions, The emPOWER Breakfast can continue to grow, bringing more women together, creating lasting industry change, and ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey.

A huge thank you to Tash, Anissa, and the entire NM Productions team for their support and belief in this movement.
