Own It

Hosted ByChristy Hiler

We’re buying out of the ad industry boys’ club. Hosted by Cornett owner Christy Hiler, Own It lifts up the stories of women and nonbinary ad agency owners: their challenges, their successes, and their goals for the industry. We’re aiming to start a movement—because you don’t have the power until you own it.

How Mandana Mellano from PEONY Talent, Owns It

Share the goodness!

This week on Own It, we’re talking to Mandana Mellano from PEONY Talent. It is a boutique talent recruitment and advisory practice that services the media, advertising, marketing, technology and entertainment industries. Her efforts have been focused on modernizing the talent recruitment process in our industry. I love how she’s innovating in that space for us all.

Mandana and I talked about her journey, the issues facing the industry with regards to talent, and certainly got her thoughts on the gender cap in advertising agency ownership.  

I love the different perspective each of our guests bring. This conversation is no different. I learned so much.
