What does it mean to lead with purpose inside a values-led organisation?

In this episode of Leaders With Purpose, Manifesto’s Rebecca Hull and Lou Lai are joined by Judith Comyn, Head of Audience Insight at Tate, for a conversation about leveraging data, creativity, leadership and organisational values to drive meaningful change. 

Jude shares how her career moved from commercial market research into the not-for-profit and cultural sectors, and how the “silver threads” throughout her journey led her towards a career rooted in social mission.

Together, they explore how Tate uses audience insight to better understand, connect with and serve the public and why data only delivers true value when it is successfully transformed into insight, strategy, and collective action.

In this episode:

  • Jude’s career journey into audience insight
  • Moving towards more purpose-led work
  • Career breaks, parenthood and the “soggy middle”
  • Building audience insight capability at Tate
  • Turning data into insight, strategy and action
  • Digital insight, search and the audience journey
  • Co-creation and the power of the “third space”
  • Living organisational values day to day
  • Advice for women navigating career, childcare and leadership
  • The impact of AI on search and the cultural sector

This episode covers Tate’s values of being bold, open, kind and rigorous, the importance of storytelling in data and the growing impact of AI on search and cultural organisations.
