In celebration of our Women in Media awards, B&T has scoured the industry and pulled out some of the women we think are kicking-butt in the workplace.

They include the women innovating, embracing change, great leaders and those turning things on their head.

This is only the start of what we envision will be a rather substantial list, so if there’s someone who’s not on here who you think should be on here, let us know in the survey box at the very bottom of this article (sorry, you’ll need to scroll to the end).

You’ve got one week to get your suggestions in. The deciding rank of the most powerful women in media will be announced at the Women in Media Awards on August 13. And make sure to nominate yourself or a colleague for the Women in Media Awards.
