AWARD CATEGORIES

Trailblazer Moms
Trailblazer Moms are the pioneers of working motherhood in the advertising industry. These women, whose oldest child is 18 or older, paved the way for the current generation of working mothers. These pioneers began combining work and family at least 18 years ago and held leadership positions in our industry while raising their children. They are known for their desire to mentor those around them and for their contributions to their own communities.

Established Moms
Established Moms are working mothers in the advertising community who have attained significant success in both family and career. Their oldest child is between the ages of 7 and 17. These women have been positive influences and strong role models at work and at home. They thrive on their busy lives and have positively impacted other working mothers with their skills at striving for work life balance.

New- to-Motherhood Moms
New-to-Motherhood Moms are working mothers in the advertising industry whose oldest child is 6 or younger. These women achieve balance in their lives and are strong role models for their associates at work and their children at home. While they are new to motherhood, they are successful working mothers who are striving to redefine WorkLife balance through their innovative approach to careers and family.
