Judges

The Women in Content & Marketing Awards are judged by an esteemed panel of content marketing industry leaders—some of them past WICMA winners themselves. These women bring together expertise from across major disciplines, including content marketing strategy and execution, account management, marketing technology, social media management, search engine optimization, and account management. They work at brands, agencies, social platforms, in-house content studios, and publishers and represent many of the areas where our nominees are making a difference.
