Vibrant Media Honors 2012 Advertising Working Mothers of the Year
The luncheon honors mothers in advertising, media and communications who successfully balance work and family life while simultaneously distinguishing themselves as mentors in their communities. This year, twenty winners were selected by the editors of Working Mother magazine for distinction in three categories: balancing work and family, excelling in the workplace and at home, and paving the way for future working mothers.
“As a working mother, I understand the unique mix of satisfaction and strain that professional women face as they balance work and family life,” says Cella Irvine, CEO of Vibrant Media. “The women being honored at this year’s luncheon are nothing short of extraordinary, and Vibrant is privileged to be a part of this event. It’s fitting – in an era where consumers often wear multiple hats at once – that these savvy marketers are representative of the exact audience they are working to reach.”
“The 2012 Advertising Working Mothers of the Year are an outstanding group. They serve as an inspiration to working moms everywhere, and we are honored to have this opportunity to recognize them with the support of Vibrant Media,” says Joan Sheridan LaBarge, Vice President/Group Publisher of Working Mother Media.
