This week on Own It we’re talking to Courtney Worthman and Stacey Gersten from Main Character. Their firm’s goal is to make their client’s brands the Main Character in stories, the marketplace and impact. They launched the company in 2025 after working together for several years at Burns Entertainment.

We talked about their individual and partnership journeys, which character from Sex & The City they resemble most and so much more. Their perspectives on closing the gender gap in agency ownership are so powerful. We got so much from them and know you will, too.
