About this Event
Forget the case studies showcasing perfect campaign launches and viral moments. Our Female Marketing Experts are discussing what’s behind the metrics.
We’re gathering female marketing professionals who’ve navigated it all – pitching brilliant strategies only to watch them get watered down by committee. They’ve also been asked to make it go viral; with zero budget. There’s also burnout from constantly proving ROI while others get blank checks. Furthermore, they have the expertise that gets questioned until a man repeats your exact idea.
This Women’s History Month, join us for breakfast and real conversation. Our panelists aren’t here to walk through their LinkedIn achievements. Instead, they’re here to discuss the actual experience of building marketing careers. These include the pitches that died in boardrooms, the credit stolen by colleagues, the “aggressive” feedback for the same assertiveness that gets men promoted. In addition, they’ll discuss the code-switching required to be taken seriously.
Expect truth about imposter syndrome in an industry that worships youth while demanding experience. You’ll also hear about the freelance hustle when agencies lowball your rates, and the genuine tactics these women use to negotiate fair compensation (because “exposure” doesn’t pay rent). They’ll reveal which networking actually led to opportunities. Moreover, you’ll hear about the pivots that saved failing campaigns, the data that finally convinced skeptical stakeholders, and the boundaries they wish they’d set sooner.
Come ready for honest discussion about being the only woman in strategy meetings, managing up while mentoring down, and building authority in spaces designed to question it. Leave with tactical advice from women who’ve fought through the pretty branding to create substantive change. This applies both in campaigns and company culture.
Complimentary breakfast provided. Because marketers know the power of breaking bread together, and these conversations deserve more than another unpaid coffee chat.
Show up as an ally in amplifying women’s expertise in marketing. Not in Marketing? We have plans for HR, Non-Profits & Events happening too.
