12 Women In Digital Marketing to Watch out For In 2021

As the advent of the internet was a major game-changer in the timeline of technological advancement, digital marketing has proven to be a major game-changer in a labor market that generally has more men than women. In a society where there is low female representation in top roles, digital marketing has served as a platform where women have come to abilities as thought leaders, innovators, and intelligent strategists. It is interesting to know that women make up about 68% of social media influencers which is a major zone of digital marketing. 

Digital marketing is the meeting point of creativity, technical ability, business nous, and strategic ability which offers wide scope for professional success. If tough times call for tough people, then a wave of creativity calls for creative people, and women have refused to take the back seat this time around. They are pushing boundaries, changing narratives, growing businesses, and expanding influence.

Interesting right? What if I told you some women have generated millions of dollars in revenue and millions more generated for their clients through their marketing strategies would you believe it? But that is simply the truth. These women are inspiring to say the least. Should you wonder who some of these women are, look no forward because I have managed to write about 12 of them below.
