An industry which fartoo long has lacked the perspective of half of the population; thevery half which to such a large extent represents the consumer.Therefore, everyone who wants to shape our future industry shouldput it on their reading list immediately." MARY WELLS LAWRENCE, CEO & COPYWRITER  Christina Knight has worked in the communications industry for almost 30 years and has throughout her career been a role model by teaching, inspiring and acting as a mentor to young women in this still male-dominated industry. She dares to question and be critical about her own industry. With the book "Mad Women - A Herstory of Advertising", she put the issue on the agenda which led to an annual gender equality survey in the industry, a TED talk and numerous international lectures. Christina's effort and enduring commitment has certainly contributed greatly to change the perception of leadership in the communications industry, an industry that greatly influences the public space in terms of role models, values nd beliefs, not least in a younger generation. Christina Knight is a great role model and well worthy of attention for what she is - a leader. The first edition was created in cooperation with KOMM!
