Summary

Ladies in Leadership

In a world where marketing, eCommerce, and digital innovation drive every brand’s success, women are stepping into leadership roles with boldness and brilliance, redefining what it means to lead with creativity, resilience, and purpose. Yet, the path to the top has been far from easy. While we celebrate the strides we've made, there’s still so much more to achieve.

Celebrating International Women's Day on March 6th, 2025, we invite you to join us for an exclusive evening of networking, drinks, and light bites. This gathering is specially curated for women leaders across marketing, eCommerce, and digital to connect, reflect, and be inspired. Let’s spark meaningful conversations, share our journeys, and explore how we can continue elevating women’s voices in these ever-evolving industries.

Surrounded by fellow women and fuelled by insights from our distinguished guest speaker, together we’ll raise a glass to the incredible milestones we’ve reached and those yet to come.

Let's champion a future where women in marketing, eCommerce, and digital continue to empower, elevate, and excel!

It's our moment to unite and:

  • Empower Each Other: Let’s uplift one another by exchanging advice, mentorship, and strategies to elevate our collective impact.
  • Elevate Voices:  Share your triumphs and lessons learned, highlighting how women across retail are reshaping brand narratives and driving business success across endless sectors.
  • Excel Together: Reflect on how we can further break barriers, challenge norms, and pave the way for future generations of women to lead in the fast-paced, dynamic worlds of marketing, eCommerce and digital innovation.
