  • The Future is Female
    Enabling women to achieve their full potential - both in business and in the communities we serve - is not only a matter of social responsibility, morality, and legal compliance; it also makes excellent business sense. Knowing the facts around the role that women play in society and in households, we need to challenge ourselves as marketers to consider how much of our work is actually targeted at women? The future may be female, but are we geared efficiently as a marketing community to cater to that?
