The B&T Women in Media Power List Longlist Is HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Stop what you are doing right this minute because the B&T Women In Media Power List longlist has LANDED.
Yes, that’s right – we have gathered a full list of all the amazing women working in advertising, marketing, and media in Australia and New Zealand.
We will be whittling it down to the final 2023 30 Power List to be announced at our exclusive B&T Women In Media awards night taking place on Friday 25th of August at the White Bay Cruise Terminal. To see the list revealed in person – buy your tickets HERE.
Best of all, because we are so diplomatic here at B&T, you actually have the power to influence the list. This is your chance to get their name in front of us before we reveal the final 30 winners.
If you do want to add someone, please add them to the comments section below.
Also please note, that this is not the people’s choice! There’s no voting here. Just an unearthing process of proper talent.
While every effort (hours spent trawling LinkedIn) has been made to ensure all details are correct at the time of publishing, they’re absolutely not going to be. We sincerely apologise if anyone on this list has changed jobs, moved overseas, left the industry, retired, died, or done something so egregious to someone else as to be unworthy of this list. We will fix the problem as fast as we can.
Also, accept that while this list as a starting point is long, it is in no way complete. Heck we can’t even guarantee the whole 30 finalists from last year aren’t all here. God, we hope they are, but come on! That’s a lot of names to wade through.
If you want to get something changed email sofia@bandt.com.au.
Without further ado, please see the list here:
