Women are bringing fresh perspectives to the marketing world. As consumers, women make up a significant portion of the market. Globally, women control about $20 trillion in annual consumer spending. This number is projected to increase to $28 trillion over the next five years. As a result, their unique experiences are shaping marketing campaigns and strategies.

Women’s commitment to social change is reflected in recent marketing campaigns. For instance, many companies are now embracing sustainable business practices to protect the environment. Female-led campaigns were at the forefront of this movement.

Another example of female-led campaigns is eco-friendly products to conservation initiatives. Women are using their platforms to bring attention to environmental issues and encourage people to make sustainable choices. By emphasizing diversity and inclusion in marketing, companies can reach a wider audience and show that they value all customers.

This approach not only creates more authentic and relatable campaigns but also helps to promote social change and combat harmful stereotypes.

Leadership In Marketing

The marketing industry is seeing an increase in women taking on leadership roles, with women now holding approximately 37% of leadership positions in media and communication fields. This is a significant shift as women are now driving the direction of marketing campaigns and strategies, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive marketing landscape.

Female influencers have become a powerful force in shaping consumer trends. Female-led marketing campaigns being some of the most successful in recent years. The beauty industry is a great example of this, where influencer reviews have been shown to be critical.

It has become very apparent in recent years that women are being slighted in many ways because of their gender. According to PayScale, women earn 76 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts.

Digital marketing is no exception to these unfair circumstances. A Digital Skills Gap Report released by the Digital Marketing Institute revealed that women were 11% more digitally proficient than men, but only represent 30% of the entire digital marketing workforce.

Women in Digital

One woman who experienced sexism in the workplace was Alaina Shearer. She described the many trials and tribulations of her career in digital marketing in an interview with Forbes.

No action was taken on behalf of Shearer when the Creative Director of the marketing agency where she was employed made advancements toward her. Instead, all documented evidence was ignored, and Shearer was asked to move to a separate department within the agency.

In response to this event, and many like it, Shearer decided to launch Women in Digital. The mission of this community is, “To empower each other by creating a national network of women in digital unlimited in our potential to meet individual and collective goals.”
