OM DENNE EPISODE
Less than one percent of all advertising agencies are owned by women. Read that again. It's kind of astonishing when you think about it.
For Cornett owner Christy Hiler, that's a problem. Today, she launched an effort to do something to close the gender gap in ad agency ownership called Own it.
The effort is being cataloged at UntilYouOwnIt.com where female and non-binary agency owners can join and participate in mentorship and other activities to help more women, Own It.
Part of the effort for Own It is a new podcast hosted by Hiler herself where she interviews and celebrates the growing number of women and non-binary ad agency owners to talk about buying out of the boys club of advertising, one agency at a time.
On this special, audio-only edition of Digging Deeper, you'll hear an excerpt from Own It's first episode. In it, Hiler talks to Jean Freeman from Zambezi, the largest female-owned ad agency in the country.
After you listen, be sure to subscribe to Own It at UntilYouOwnIt.com or wherever your get your podcasts.
