Women of Action: Breaking Boundaries in the Business of Creativity

Hosted by J. Walter Thompson New York
April 17, 2017

Media and Entertainment as a whole tends to pigeon hole woman into stereotypical categories. The world of creativity is no exception. Historically, there has been a singular approach to creating media and content; as a result, women rarely receive opportunities to drive non-stereotypical categories or products like news, horror and action. Our panel will discuss how women have successfully broken through these traditional barriers of genre, product category and industry, to reinvent the visual and cultural world we live in, offering a fresh perspective. Panelists will share their story hoping to inspire a new generation of female creators to break into more unexpected spaces and bring their own vision into the world.
