She Runs It + Yieldmo: Lift As You Climb — Women Shaping Equity In Media [Recording]

SHE RUNS IT + YIELDMO: LIFT AS YOU CLIMB — WOMEN SHAPING EQUITY IN MEDIA [RECORDING]

As the global gender gap in economic participation remains stubbornly wide, with some estimates projecting it will take nearly two centuries to close, leaders in media, marketing, and tech know that waiting for slow progress is no longer an option. Real equity happens when those who reach the top turn around to lift others as they climb.

In this candid and forward-looking conversation, hosted by She Runs It at Cannes Lions, a panel of trailblazing women share how they’re pushing for faster, lasting change. Moderated by Lynn Branigan, President and CEO of She Runs It, this discussion dives into the practical actions, intentional strategies, and proven pathways that help open doors, elevate new leaders, and build workplaces where equity is more than a promise, it’s a reality.

This movement isn’t theoretical, it’s measurable, actionable, and urgent. You’ll hear how industry leaders are challenging outdated norms, leveraging data and accountability, and using their platforms to propel other women forward, especially those who remain underrepresented at the highest levels.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How today’s C-suite leaders see intentional sponsorship as key to accelerating the next generation
  • What industry benchmarks reveal about where gender equity stands, and what it takes to close the gap faster for all women
  • How to turn individual success into collective impact through mentorship, sponsorship, and allyship
  • Practical ways to drive sustained cultural change that makes workplaces more equitable and inclusive, top to bottom
