Top 50 Awesome Women in Marketing to Follow (International Women’s Day)

International Women’s Day is March 8th, so it seemed like the perfect time to recognize some of the fantastic females around the world who are making things happen in the marketing space.
Looking for women I’d want to include led me to tons of blogs, social channels, and brands. The good news is, there are tons of people to include, but the challenge is—there are tons to wade through! There are a number of other lists out there, so to make this list a bit different, I did a couple of things:
First, I tried to remove anyone that I had already seen on multiple “who to follow” lists. Not because they’re not awesome, but because chances are, you’re already following them, so this is an opportunity to find some new faces.
Second, while I am including most Twitter handles in the list, not all of the women on this list are necessarily avid Twitter users. I extend my definition of “follow” to mean that you should check out their blogs, LinkedIn profiles, websites, and to generally keep an eye out for them—they’re doing amazing things.
Third, the list spans new faces, industry veterans, people in startups, agencies, big brands, and everything in between. Hopefully it’s a good cross-section with some surprises thrown in!
So without further delay, here are 50 women to follow:
  1. Amanda DiSilvestro (@ADiSilvestro) – Amanda is a great source for SEO and online marketing information. She’s the content editor and a frequent writer at HigherVisibility. She is also a contributor to Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Watch, Social Media Today, and more. She’ll be one to watch in the SEO space.
  2. Amanda Maksymiw (@amandamaks – Currently serving as Content Marketing Director at Fuze, Amanda’s resume is packed with content marketing work and accolades that speak for themselves. Previously at Lattice Engines and OpenView Venture Partners, she’s continuing to make waves wherever she goes.
  3. Carla Johnson (@CarlaJohnson) – Carla is one of the more well-known people on the list. A regular speaker and author on B2B marketing and an instructor at Rutgers, Carla is someone who has evolved with the marketing space and continues to expand her experience and education to stay at the top of the field.
  4. Ally Greer (@allygreer) – Ally emerged on the scene in San Francisco a few years ago, starting out at Scoop.it, where she grew their content marketing success, and in her participation in the Bay Area’s competitive digital community.

Now a New Yorker, Leslie has been leading killer agency initiatives for years and now heads up MSLGroup’s digital practice as Senior VP. Leslie knows her clients, knows her practice, and has seen it all in the PR and marketing space.
