The results are in for Campaign US’ fourth annual Female Frontier Awards.
The awards celebrate female leaders and rising stars breaking boundaries in a historically male-dominated industry across creativity, media, technology and communications.
This year’s list of honorees was selected by a panel of expert industry judges who are empowering other women and working to make gender equality a reality in advertising and marketing.
Each honoree has been chosen for her hard work and ability to make positive change.
“Advertising is facing an ongoing reckoning when it comes to diversity and inclusion, and female representation is a huge part of that conversation,” Alison Weissbrot, editor of Campaign US, said. “We’re thrilled to continue celebrating the fearless women across the industry who are breaking barriers and rising to the top, showing a new generation of female talent what’s possible.”
Campaign US will celebrate the winners at an in-person event in New York City on March 2, 2022. Register now!
