Leading web marketing women honor the all-too-often un-acknowledged gender in social media by declaring their “Top Marketing Girl Crushes” to embrace true authenticity, collaboration and fun of the social web
Santa Barbara, CA, November 25, 2009 — In February 2009, Web Marketing Therapy’s Wild Web Women compiled a list of Top Marketing Man Crushes (e.g. Guy Kawasaki and David Meerman Scott) to pay a Valentine’s tribute to the men in marketing who provided inspiration and paved the way for Web marketers everywhere to find success. Overwhelmed with the responses from their Top Marketing Man Crushes poll, the Wild Web Women received feedback wanting to honor and acknowledge an elite group of Web professionals: WOMEN! After surveying the Wild Web Women LinkedIn Group, Web Marketing Therapy has complied a list of Top Women in Marketing and Social Media and are asking social media enthusiasts to vote for the smartest, most creative, insightful, charismatic, and innovative women on the Web today.
A recent study by BlogHer, iVillage and Compass Partners found that 53% of the 79 million adult women in the United States who use the Internet participate in social media at least weekly. “With women being such a driving force on the social web, we want to recognize these leading women of the web, as they deserve their fair mention,” said Lorrie Thomas, founder of Web Marketing Therapy and the Wild Web Women team. “By supporting and empowering our fellow Wild Web Women, we thrive together!”
