AMAZON ADS AND WACL BREAKFAST: FOSTERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN LEADERS
Thursday, 18 May, 8 am, Ronnie Scott’s
Super Delegates + Invite Only
Raising the next generation of women leaders: Women take only 39% of CXO roles within the advertising industry, which does not proportionally represent the full diversity of our society. Our generation needs to strive to give the next one more opportunities so that today’s inequities, misrepresentation and gender pay gap will not continue and also better business results will be achieved. So how can today’s leaders take meaningful and measurable action to improve the representation of women in the CXO seats of our industry?

Influencer marketing has now earned a permanent place in brands’ and agencies’ always-on digital strategies. This brings new challenges for marketers who are being tasked with showing how creator campaigns stack up against more traditional marketing channels. In order to establish the true value creators bring, measuring the success of influencer marketing needs to go beyond social metrics. Only then can we compare with other established channels and understand the power influencer marketing can harness in the long term.
