Advertising Week APAC 2023 began with the Future is Female Awards, presented by LinkedIn. The region’s inaugural event celebrated the incredible achievements and contributions of women in the industry, highlighting their exceptional talent, leadership and innovation.
The Awards showcased the remarkable strides that women are making in shaping the future of the industry. On the decision to partner with Advertising Week APAC for the Future is Female Awards, Sarah Tucker, Head of APAC Marketing – Marketing Solutions, Enterprise at LinkedIn, said:
“Global LinkedIn data illustrates that women represent 41.8% of all workers but only 32.1% of senior leadership (Director+). As a result, we’re on a mission to understand this gap in female representation and how we can help make a difference for generations to come. It’s initiatives like Future is Female that help to identify, showcase and champion women across our industry and provide a platform for positive change.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Advertising Week APAC to launch the awards here in Australia, which in its inaugural year has seen an outstanding calibre of submissions. It’s another example of the high level of emerging and experienced talent across the market, and I wish to congratulate all the Future is Female nominees and award winners.”
