10 Pioneering women changing the field of communications
By Stacy Martinet From Mashable
There’s a huge conversation about female leadership taking place, especially in the digital space.
That’s one of the reason we partnered with New York Women in Communications for its inaugural WiCi Awards — to help share the stories of the women who are changing the game.
Mashable is thrilled to announce the 2013 WiCi Award winners, honoring rising stars in communications. In its inaugural year, the WiCi Awards recognizes 10 women who are changing the industry.
These 10 women are in the trenches everyday, pushing their industries forward and paving the way for future generations. The winners represent all aspects of communications: marketing, journalism, advertising, broadcast, public relations and social good. They are defining what the profession of communications means in the digital age. In the gallery above, you can learn about this year’s winners.
Join us in celebrating an extraordinary set of leaders, entrepreneurs and role models, during at an evening reception in New York City on Sept. 18. You can get more information and purchase tickets here.
The WiCi awards complement the Matrix Awards, which include honorees such as Sheryl Sandberg, Arianna Huffington, Meredith Vieira, Annie Leibovitz and Meryl Streep, among other female leaders.
