On The Rise – Creative agencies founded & run by women
We want to talk about the path up. About freedom and the self determination it takes to make a creative, bold leap of faith.
It’s no secret that there’s a shortage of women leaders in creative agencies and, no matter where you look, female founded companies are rare. That’s why we are very, very excited to host this month’s SheSays with TWO ladies who have founded and run their own digital agencies.
We’re pleased to introduce Juli Dimos of Voco Creative and Janice Ferrante of Oblique Design. They’ve launched their agencies and between the two of them, they have nearly 18 years leading their companies and helping clients showcase their brand and products. We know they have a treasure trove of stories about how they got here and what they’ve learned along the way. We’ll dig into their creative rise as well as a case study on work that personifies their style and approach.

OUR SPEAKERS
ABOUT JANICE FERRANTE
Janice Ferrante has worked in advertising for more than two decades and she’s got skills and scars to prove it. Starting out at big agencies in New York and New Jersey, it didn’t take long for this Jersey native to realize that her ambitions weren’t destined to stay on the East Coast.
So in 2002, Janice opened Oblique’s doors to clients in the automotive, healthcare, software, higher education, footwear, technology and renewable energy industries – among others. When she’s not standing at her computer, you can probably find Janice on her motorcycle, a yoga mat, traveling or feeding her diehard fixation – with fashion.
