Women in Media has come and gone, and what a whirlwind of excitement and celebration it was for the wonderful women of the industry. The glamorous event was held at Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse, and honoured the many achievements of powerful women across the advertising, marketing, media and PR arenas.
And of course, there was the unveiling of the annual Power List; a list curated from an enormous number of nominations, then thrown to our wicked panel of judges for a final decision.
With hundreds of nominations, it just goes to show the incredible trailblazers representing women in our workplace – and a tough decision to choose just 30.
