Ever heard of Resor, Lawrence, or Robinson? No? How about Ogilvy, Bernbach, or Wieden? Yeah, I thought so.

It's time to change that.

Join me for a special International Women's Day episode as I explore the stories of the "Mad Women" who shaped the advertising world. From crafting iconic campaigns to pioneering techniques we still use today, these women broke barriers and left a lasting legacy.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Helen Lansdowne Resor, Mary Wells Lawrence, Phyllis Robinson, Caroline Jones, and Jane Newman, plus a few more currently in the industry.
