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 Cassie Hughes and Gabrey Means from Grow Marketing, Own It

Share the goodness!

This week on Own It we’re talking to Cassie Hughes and Gabrey Means from Grow Marketing. Their firm is a full-service agency based in San Francisco that specializes in brand strategy, design and production. They’ve been together for a quarter of a century after early career stops at some major brands.

Cassie worked at Levi Strauss and Esprit along the way. Gabrey was at The Gap and Banana Republic. 

We talked about their journeys, both individually and together, their passions and interests in and outside of work and of course, we got their insights into closing the gender gap in agency ownership.

As you know, we always have so much to learn and be inspired by on episodes of Own It. This one is no different.
