Last week our Culture Editor, Amy Kean, highlighted some of the young female creative teams who are attempting to have a positive impact on the advertising industry.

A third team, Jessica Kielstra and Nina Forbes, now at Newcastle-based ad agency Cravens, undertook an online experiment to find out whether male and female graduate teams were treated differently. Called the Gender Agenda, Kielstra and Forbes meticulously studied responses from 80 different crit requests which lead to some interesting and unfortunate results.
Here, Kean chats to Kielstra and Forbes about how and why they decided to undertake the experiment as well as what the results - including the differing lengths of replies and the uneven tone of language used within them - might mean.
