On this week's episode of Own It, we’re talking to Chanel Cathey from CJC Insights. Her firm is an award-winning strategic communications firm that helps brands move forward with creativity, connection and community. She founded the firm in 2018 after leading the corporate practice at Hunt & Gather. She also spent time at Viacom, Unilever and ABC News. 

We dug into that journey and her thoughts on the advertising and marketing world. And we loved her thoughts on the problem we face with the lack of women in ownership roles in our industry.

Chanel is just smart and fascinating and we loved this conversation. We know you will too.

On this week's episode of Own It, we’re talking to Tiffany Holland of Consiglieri. Her firm counsels brands and their executives on how to shift from campaign-oriented marketing to playing offense with 365-day intentional, modern marketing approaches. She developed that perspective after a career on both the agency and brand side where she was part of the digital teams at T-Mobile and Nordstrom. 

Tiffany and Christy had such a fun conversation about her journey, her perspectives on marketing and, of course, her thoughts on closing the gap in agency ownership that exists in our business. We also learned she spends a lot of her time away from the agency serving in leadership positions in youth and family services organizations in her community. We love that so much. 

And you’re going to love this episode.

Rachel originally wanted to be a choreographer. The advertising world grabbed them and now they’re together at Corner Table Creative.
