This week’s guest:
Tina Cartwright (@rebrandingmotherhood) isn’t just rebranding motherhood — she’s rewriting the rules of how brands show up for moms. As the founder of Rebranding Motherhood, Tina leads the go-to agency for companies looking to build authentic, unfiltered, and powerfully resonant connections with modern mothers.
A powerhouse marketer and former Fortune 50 sales leader, Tina spent over 16 years at Procter & Gamble shaping billion-dollar brands like Pampers©, Olay©, and Gillette©. Today, she brings that same global rigor to the maternal space — blending corporate strategy with culture-shifting storytelling.
In just six months, she scaled Rebranding Motherhood from a passion project to a 70,000-strong global movement. Now, she advises startups, legacy brands, and healthcare leaders on how to show up for the motherhood economy with relevance, respect, and realness.
Through bold campaigns, culturally fluent messaging, and a community-first mindset, Tina is building a new standard for what maternal marketing should be: inclusive, informed, and radically honest. She’s not just amplifying voices — she’s changing the conversation entirely.
Tina says, “Brands don’t need to talk at moms — they need to build with them. That’s what we do.”
