New York and Chicago; (February 12, 2019) – For the 15th consecutive year, She Runs It (formerly Advertising Women of New York), is celebrating marketing, media and tech leaders who skillfully navigate the multiple demands of work and motherhood. In addition to 22 individual honorees, the organization is also recognizing three Outstanding Companies for Working Mothers.

The 2019 corporate honorees are Colle McVoy, IPG Mediabrands and Swift. The winners were chosen for activating policies and practices to create a supportive environment for mothers who want to excel as parents and as corporate and community leaders. The selection criteria focused on the number of women in leadership and client-facing roles, the scope of paid/flexible leave that companies provide to new mothers, and overall benefits related to maternity and motherhood.

“In our 15 years of evaluating submissions for working mothers of the year, we have been profoundly inspired by the nominees, who redefine the concept of multitasking every day. We have also gained valauble insight into corporate practices and programs, many of them initiated by the women who are nominated,” said Lynn Branigan, President and CEO of She Runs It. “There is a symbiotic relationship between employee and employer that creates the best environment for working mothers to thrive.”
