COG Advertising – Business Development Manager of the Year
“When described as a collective ‘industry’ – for as long as I can remember it’s typically led many to think of tough environments, hard work, and a very male dominated work profession. Today, as a collective – we women are changing the narrative and reclaiming those terms as our own. Celebrating Women in Industry in this day and age will forever be something I am proud to be in support of, and will continue to aspire to and hold great tenor for.”
Sarah Doyle – General Manager, COG Advertising
