Where Are The Boss Ladies

Where are our role models?

15% of Executive Creative Directors at the most progressive agencies* are women. 29% of Creative Directors. 45% of Associate Creative Directors.

That's 15% less representation for every promotion. 

To quote Fox Mulder, “I want to believe.”

I want to believe there’s a way up in this industry. That there are women who can have kids, and love their jobs, and are boss ladies with amazing gray hair.

We want to believe there are agencies who care about parental leave and are doing something about workaholism. 

So, where the hell are they? Right here.


Where Are The Boss Ladies is a crowd-sourced list of ad agencies with women in charge. We want to provide a resource for people to find their next female boss or business partner.
