How Marissa Shapiro of Martha, Owns It
Hi and welcome to the OWN IT podcast, where we celebrate the growing number of (women and non-binary) ad agency owners and talk about buying out of the boys’ club of advertising, one agency at a time. Today, we’re talking to Marissa Shapiro from Martha. Her firm claims to develop brands from the inside out and does amazing branding work for its clients. We talk about her path to ownership, which included work on both the agency and brand side of the business. She started as a writer and has most recently been writing a fiction novel. So exciting! Marissa has some great thoughts about continuing our work to close the advertising agency ownership gender gap and supporting one another along the way. And get out your notebooks … she shares some great resources for you as well.
