Today, we’re talking to Stacy Durand of Smart Media Technologies. Stacy launched her own agency after years as the CEO of another. 

Stacy comes from the media buying segment of the industry, which as you’ll hear, is very different in gender dynamics. That turned out to be quite empowering for her. Our conversation about what needs to change for more women to own agencies is not what you might expect. 

Stacy also had some great advice for anyone aspiring to be an owner … or just anyone who is looking to succeed in this wonderful industry we call home.
