  • This week on Own It, we have a different episode than normal. We are welcoming back Flor Leibaschoff, who visited us with her partner Salma Gottfried, to talk about their journeys to owning BeautifulBeast. That was Episode 45, which we’ll link in our show notes.
    Flor is back this week to talk about an equally important gap to fill in agency ownership and that is of Hispanic and Latina representation as owners, but also to quantify and understand Latina representation at every level of the advertising business. We talk about the fact there simply aren’t enough facts to inform what needs to be done and how Flor is leading the charge to survey the industry to find them.
    Find the survey at https://latinasleadingsurvey.com/
    Flor is originally from Argentina and has worked globally for many years. She is absolutely the right person to spearhead this effort and we in the Own It community are behind her all the way.
    This is an important episode. Thank you for listening!

  • On this week's episode of Own It, we’re talking to Erin Creaney and Tammy Brody of Good Day Collective. They describe the agency as the non-agency agency. That means clients get talent customized for their unique challenges without the overhead of a holding company or big agency. 
    We talked about their model, their journey to ownership and, of course, the challenge we face in putting more women in the role of agency ownership in the advertising business. 
    It’s always a joy to learn from smart, innovators in the space. Enjoy this conversation with Erin Creaney and Tammy Brody.

  • On this week's episode of Own It, we’re talking to Julia Beardwood and Sarah Williams from Beardwood & Co. Julia started the agency almost 20 years ago after time at P&G both on the brand side, and serving them at an agency. And Sarah, though she was one of the first employees, just took over ownership from Julia. 
    The firm was born from a dissatisfaction with existing agency models. The agency aimed to accelerate growth for existing brands and create mighty new ones. And have they!
    We talked about their respective journeys and perspectives on the agency world. And, of course, we talked about the challenge of closing the gender gap in agency ownership.
    You’ll so enjoy this conversation. We know we did.

  • On this week's episode of Own It, we’re talking to Kelly Bayett from Love Song and Barking Owl. She owns not one, but two audio production companies. Her work has touched many aspects of the advertising and agency world, so she not only has the ownership experience to share, but a unique perspective on the greater advertising world.
    We talked about her inspirations and challenges along the way to own two companies, her perspective on the advertising business and how the music business compares, and, of course, her thoughts on closing the gap in agency ownership. This was such a fun conversation. We're sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did.

Edelman, Mercury, Price Waterhouse Cooper, Grey, Conde Naste, Merkle. That’s one of the main reasons I wanted to get her on the show … she has such a deep and wide set of experiences to share with us.
    Alison and I talked about her journey to ownership, her vast experiences and influencers and, of course, what she thinks needs to happen to get more women in the position of agency ownership.

  • On this episode of Own It, we’re talking to Holland Martini and Maria Vorovich from GOODQUES. Their firm is what they call the “anti-research” research company that is changing consumer insights practices. Their approach is to tackle research in a creative way. 
    They founded the company in 2019 after years working in the larger agency world. They were named a top global research company to watch in 2020 and 2021 by the StartupPill.
    Our conversation focused on their path to ownership, their respective journeys to that point, and their take on why there are so few female agency owners, but how we grow that number.

    Today we welcome back the co-founder of the Own It effort and our first guest way back in episode one, Jean Freeman from Zambezi. We wanted to look back on the last two years of conversations and progress, recap the amazing Own It Summit we just finished in New York, and talk about what’s next for our efforts to close the gender gap in advertising agency ownership.
    We focus on the individual guests on this show, so today we’re going to pull back a bit and talk a bit more holistically about our energies, our progress and our plans. You’re in for a little change of pace today topically, but a fun and energizing conversation to keep us all moving forward.

  • On this episode of OWN IT, we’re talking to Lee Deas from Obviouslee. She started her agency when she was 25 with no money or capital investment. She actually taught salsa dancing to make ends meet while she built it. Almost 20 years later, she’s built an amazing agency that does awesome work.
    Lee is a force. And you’ll get that in the conversation today. We talked about her lessons learned throughout her two decades of building her agency, her influences along the way, and, of course, what she thinks we need to do to get more women in the role of ownership in our business.

  • This week on OWN IT, we’re talking to Julie Sheldon and Lindsay Waugh of Tough Love. They say very clearly they are not an agency. They are strategy partners for all things brand, communication and social. Both come from backgrounds in strategy and planning for a variety of brands and agencies of all sizes. They came together to start Tough Love just one year ago.
    We talked about their inspirations, their journeys and, of course, the challenges of bringing more women to the forefront of ownership and leading agencies today. And we tried not to focus too much on our mutual love of skiing, though we certainly touched on that, too.
    This was such a fun conversation. We know you’ll enjoy it just like we did.

  • This week on OWN IT, we’re talking to Hollie Fraser of Shelance. It is a community of freelance female creatives that serves to help that talent get found and seen. As  you might imagine, Hollie spent time as a freelance creative, but comes from a long history of working at some of the biggest agencies in the world. Leo Burnett, Grey, MMC and others.
    She started Shelance in 2023 after frustration with hearing the complaint that it’s hard to find great female creatives. Hollie didn’t agree but saw the opportunity to start a community to lift up strong women on the creative side of advertising. 
    We talked about her journey, her perspective on the industry and so much more. We love what she’s doing and so enjoyed our conversation. We're sure you will, too.

  • On this week's episode of OWN IT, we’re talking to Faith Hurley and Stacy Callighan from PinPoint Collective. In many ways these two power women are the Odd Couple, from their interests … food versus working out … to their backgrounds … Faith was an actor in a previous professional life. Stacy was an architect.
    They met at a human-centered research and design firm. Faith gathered insights and Stacy designed a future not yet imagined with them. They launched PinPoint Collective in 2018 as a research and design agency with a mission to advance female leaders and create inclusive community by making design thinking equally accessible.
    There’s so much to dig into here. We loved this conversation and know you will, too.

  • This week on OWN IT, we’re talking to Suzanne Barbosa of Atlantic New York. Her firm is the reigning AdAge Small Agency of the Year! Her experience prior to ownership included stops at MullenLowe, BBDO, Grey, Victors & Spoils and more. So, she brings the perspective of the big and the small to the conversation.
    Suzanne loved being in the middle of everything through her career, so she came up in the account role in the business. She joined Atlantic NYC in the summer of 2022 in the middle of a pregnancy, but knew the move was right. And it was.
    She has such a smart view of the business and has interesting thoughts on closing the gender gap in agency ownership. We so enjoyed this.

  • This week on OWN IT, we’re talking to Katie Irving of The Moonshot Agency. She works mainly in the fashion industry and started her career as a textile designer. That happens to be one of my favorite things, so we could have spent the whole episode talking about that … but we didn’t!
    Katie and Christy Hiler explored her journey to ownership, the women who inspired her along the way and the challenges we face in closing that gender gap in agency ownership. This was such a great conversation and the fashion insights she brought to the table expanded what we know.
    We're sure you’ll learn something new today.

    She actually started in Advertising at six months old. She was an Ivory Snow Baby and modeled through her childhood.
