Bold. Innovative. Visionary. Exceptional.

These traits and more define the marketers who are elevating brands and products, breaking barriers within their organization and advancing the marketing profession. Ragan’s Top Women in Marketing Awards will honor these women.

We invite you to nominate an outstanding marketing colleague or partner worthy of recognition, someone who goes above and beyond to deliver results. The Top Women in Marketing are pushing the boundaries in an ecosystem where competing for eyeballs is an everyday challenge. They know how to captivate their audiences and compel them to action.

You likely know a Top Woman in Marketing. You might be a Top Woman in Marketing. Either way, we’re looking to create the industry’s go-to list of female marketing leaders.

If you or someone you know is an exceptional female marketing professional, complete your nominations by March 24, 2023. Self-nominations, as well as nominations on behalf of clients and colleagues are accepted in the program. Winners will be recognized later this year.
