Recognizing Top Women in Content Marketing

What inspired the Women in Content Marketing Awards (WICMA)?

Women bring incredible ingenuity, creativity, and leadership to the ever-evolving practice of content marketing, and their work provides the fuel that propels the industry forward. Yet despite their considerable contributions, many women aren’t recognized for what they’ve accomplished — and how they’ve powerfully and positively influenced others in the space.

The Women in Content Marketing Awards was created to recognize the outstanding work of inspiring and accomplished innovators, spotlighting specific achievements made by women and ways that these marketers have positively impacted others — colleagues, clients, and the industry as a whole — through their leadership.

The Women in Content Marketing Awards are presented by Masthead Media, a full-service content marketing company founded and led by women, in partnership with the Content Marketing Institute.

How these Awards are Different

Traditional marketing awards tend to focus exclusively on the strength of the winner’s portfolio — not the overall contributions the candidate has made to her industry.

WICMA considers the following elements when judging the awards:

• Creative and professional achievements
• Leadership and mentorship
• Community involvement and impact
• Time spent acquiring experience (for Rising Star candidates)

Our Judges

The Women in Content Marketing Awards will be judged by an esteemed panel of content marketing industry leaders. These women bring together expertise from across major disciplines, including brand and content marketing strategy, social media, influencer programming, native content, and account management. They work at brands, agencies, in-house content studios, and publishers, and represent many of the areas where our nominees are making a difference.

Meet our judges and learn more about their backgrounds.
