She Runs It is a professional organization within the advertising services sector focused on advancing women’s leadership. Founded more than a century ago as Advertising Women of New York, it rebranded in 2016 to reflect a broader, global community beyond New York and now counts members in 42 states and eight countries. The organization frames leadership as essential at every level—from running companies and departments to directing projects and shaping careers—and it brings together women and men to support women leaders. Based in New York, the group operates as a mid-sized organization with a mixed professional membership. A recent development is a November 2023 partnership with Seramount Employee Group to measure progress toward DEI goals through the #Inclusive100 initiative. Its history includes a 2020 merger with MBolden, ongoing collaboration with Diversity Best Practices, and recognition programs highlighting working mothers, underscoring a long-standing focus on leadership, inclusion, and professional advancement in marketing and media.
