According to WBENC, the powerhouse organization comprising over 400 of the nation&#8217;s largest corporations, 13 million US companies are owned by women. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Yelp trend report found women opened more new businesses last year than ever before \u2013 a 17% increase. And Yelp searches for women-owned businesses more than doubled last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With women\u2019s ownership levels edging ever closer to men\u2019s, some may ask if it\u2019s still important to proclaim your status as a woman-owned business and go through the mountain of paperwork required to get an official designation. As a company owner with SBA Woman Owned Business (WOSB) certification, I value having gone through the process. This is largely because my company works in the advertising and entertainment sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26805\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.techsystintel.com\/press_kitchen_dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/women-owned-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demo.techsystintel.com\/press_kitchen_dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/women-owned-2.png 512w, https:\/\/demo.techsystintel.com\/press_kitchen_dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/women-owned-2-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/demo.techsystintel.com\/press_kitchen_dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/women-owned-2-350x162.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advertising, unfortunately, falls far behind national averages in the US, with women owning less than 1% of the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 14,000 ad agencies in America. How could this notoriously progressive industry be so far behind on such an important metric of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">equality and equity, when so much ad industry messaging proclaims a commitment to inclusion? There is no ready answer. Plenty of women are seen in agency management and key staff positions, making agencies thrive, so it seems the absence of women is primarily seen at the ownership level. Although some business sectors may find that being certified woman-owned is not particularly beneficial, advertising and entertainment \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">industries where WOSBs are underrepresented \u2013 may be a scenario where female owners will benefit from making it official.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zambezi founder and CEO Jean Freeman co-launched <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/untilyouownit.com\/events\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OWN IT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a database of women-owned agencies that is holding a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women&#8217;s Agency Ownership Summit on March 20th in NYC. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingpodcasts.net\/show\/own-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">organization\u2019s podcast<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> features women and nonbinary ad agency owners telling their stories to help empower women to start their own shops.

If growth is the primary motivation for getting certified, you may need to dig deeper for alternate reasons or forgo the process altogether. \u201cMiddle market and emerging companies don&#8217;t have the same stringent requirements on certification, and look more holistically at a company&#8217;s offering,\u201d she adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of whether a woman-owned organization gets a \u201cbadge\u201d to prove it, I hope that women owners will continue to stand up and be counted, to help other women aspiring to ownership in their circles, and to \u201cown\u201d the fact that they are important agents of change.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Virginia Scripps It\u2019s inspiring to read that 40-42% of all U.S. businesses are women-owned, depending on the source.
