Before Taylor Swift got in the game: "Women make up nearly 1/2 of all National Football League (NFL)(45%), in addition to being the world’s dominant apparel and gift buyers. The league had embraced an #opportunity that had been lying untapped with 1/2 the population – specifically, the half that does most of the #shopping. Women drive 70-80% of all #consumer #spending, and many are active NFL #fans, going to games, shouting for their teams, hosting game-day parties, playing fantasy football and generally participating in much of the same activities as their male brethren." Bridget Brennan Forbes source in this post: https://lnkd.in/ehrtVZCf "Female NFL owners: A ranked list of all women who own NFL teams" Jody Allen - Seattle Seahawks Sheila Ford Hamp - Detroit Lions Janice McNair - Houston Texans Gayle Benson - New Orleans Saints Carol Davis - Las Vegas Raiders Virginia Halas McCaskey - Chicago Bears Denise DeBartolo York - San Francisco 49ers Amy Adams Strunk - Tennessee Titans Dee Haslam - Cleveland Browns Amy Trask - Oakland Raiders Kim S.

Happy Women’s Equity Day! At Vetsource, we love to see the growing number of women entering STEM jobs! Women’s Equity Day celebrates women’s suffrage with the passing of the 19th Amendment. However, just as it is important to recognize that women of color were denied access to the polls until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, it is also important to recognize the added barriers that women of color face in STEM today. On this Women's Equity Day, as we celebrate the advancement of ALL women, we encourage you to learn about some incredible women of color advancing STEM fields and the Society of STEM Women of Color. Then, ask yourself, what can I do to advance women in STEM today?

Happy #SuperBowl 🏈 #SwiftieBowl 🥰 How should brands and the #NFL engage women this Super Bowl? I think we need to analyze the #brand the National Football League (NFL) When you think of the NFL what comes to mind? 🏋️♂️ strong men 📈 competition 🥳 the Super Bowl spectacle including the ads What’s missing? Women. That’s a major issue. Why? Because there are over 168 million Americans that identify as women and over 80 percent of purchases and purchase influence are made by women. These statistics reveal a truth that should have companies reevaluating their marketing strategey. Women have power and influence over spending but are brands crafting messages in empowering and inclusive ways? This Super Bowl is being rebranded the Swiftie Bowl due to #TaylorSwift’s relationship with Travis Kelcie but I wonder how brands will address women’s relationship to money, power, respect (the key to life Lil Kim implored us to reckon with). The NFL does a wonderful job of weaving a cast of characters that highlight #equity for women and #Black people in their revaltory new documentary You Are Looking Live which highlights the amazing careers of Phyllis George and Jayne Kennedy who are also featured in this touchdown dance of a post by The Female Quotient I love this post shows because it shows that women can thrive anywhere and by any means if there is a crack in the door way she’s making her way down the hallway into the board room! As we watch the Super Bowl and it’s ads tonight, I wonder what you see regarding #InclusiveMarketing and #BrandSafety Comment below ⬇️ #marketing #advertising #IfYouCanSeeItYouCanBeIt #LeadByExample #RaiseHerProfile #FutureFixer #SuperBowlLVIII

🌟👑 Honouring International Women’s Day 2024 but let’s talk about #blackandglobalmajority women👑🌟 In the tapestry of progress, International Women’s Day illuminates our path forward, a beacon guiding us toward #equality and #empowerment. I was honoured that #BRIG asked for my reflections. Whilst it is a great day for celebration, I could not help but consider that it is important to reflect, act, and elevate the voices that too often remain marginalised - those of black and global majority women. Let's not just talk about #inclusion but about #belonging for black & global majority women. It’s time to #breakbarriers, #amplifyvoices, and take #meaningfulaction. Together, let’s create a world where every woman feels valued, heard, and empowered. #Equity #BlackandGlobalMajority #IWD2024 Atif A.
