Deadline: 12-Jul-21
Nominations are now open for the Women in Content Marketing Awards that enable women marketers at every stage in their career and in every location, to meet and network with industry leaders and rising stars.
Women bring incredible ingenuity, creativity, and leadership to the ever-evolving practice of content marketing, and their work provides the fuel that propels the industry forward. Yet despite their considerable contributions, many women aren’t recognized for what they’ve accomplished — and how they’ve powerfully and positively influenced others in the space.
