Advertising Women of New York (AWNY) Is Now She Runs It

We have always believed in the power of women.

For over a hundred years, we have worked to nurture and celebrate women in marketing and media. We even taught advertising classes for women back when women were excluded from university courses.

A hundred years ago, we worked to get more women a seat at the table. Now, we want to see more women at the head of that table.

The reason is simple. Women are proven leaders. Today, women run companies. Communities. Countries. They are growth-oriented leaders, and focus on steady, sustainable growth. They’re good for business.

Women motivate. Innovate. Companies with more women as leaders are more financially successful than companies with fewer women leaders. Women drive socially responsible organizations. And they’re strong, especially in times of crisis.

This doesn’t just benefit women - it benefits everyone. That’s why we are working to build a world where as many women  as men lead at every level.

A world where she runs businesses.
She runs departments.
She runs accounts.
She runs projects.
She runs her career.
She runs her life.
She runs it.
