Introducing Ad Age’s 2024 Leading Women

Every spring, Ad Age publishes its list of Leading Women, highlighting those individuals who are reaching new heights in an ever-changing marketing landscape. This year’s honorees are showing up where it matters and delivering where it counts.

One had an inkling Caitlin Clark would make it big and signed the young athlete for a major brand partnership long before she became a household name in sports.

These honorees have risen to that occasion. One agency CEO led her shop to record growth last year with 11 new client wins and 33 new hires. Many are incorporating DE&I commitments into their hiring practices, and making themselves available as mentors to emerging talent. One is an entrepreneur of a fast-growing e-commerce discovery platform that uses AI. Her venture recently received $20 million in funding.
