PINK magazine's Second ANNIVERSARY Issue: Ariel Capital Management's MELLODY HOBSON and MARKETING to WOMEN
Plus: women who doubled their salaries, adventure travel, increasing your visibility – and what makes a beautiful life
Atlanta – May 16, 2007. In PINK's June.July Second Anniversary issue, Mellody Hobson tells how she went from intern at Ariel Capital Management to president of the $16 billion firm. Now one of the highest-ranking women in the mutual fund industry and one of the most powerful African-American women in the financial world, the regular Good Morning America financial correspondent shares her secrets for success.
Other features in the June.July issue include:
Snorkeling with Sharks
Why do women who take big risks every day in business want to take dangerous, extreme vacations? Adventure travel is increasingly popular among successful women who don't want to switch off their fearless nature during their "down" time but rather seek out entirely different challenges. Meet an advertising exec who biked 1,200 miles across a country (and a desert), an attorney who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and a magazine editor who regularly swims with sharks.
A Beautiful Life
What does it mean to have not just a beautiful career but a beautiful life – not just to get rich but to live richly? What makes a life beautiful – beyond the obvious good health, financial success, professional accomplishments, great friends and loving family? From the president of Volvo Cars of North America, to the COO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, to the co-writer of Broadway's Wicked, to a woman who hasn't walked since age 8, six women share how they intentionally built their beautiful lives.
Double Your Salary
Few are surprised to hear recent reports that the gender wage gap is alive and well. But did you know that half of all wealth will be in the hands of women by 2010 – and two-thirds by 2030? Meet four women who doubled their salaries with just one bold move – by taking risks, embracing change or investing in themselves.
Rise of the "She-M.O."
PINK notes an exciting trend in executive suites: a dramatic increase in the number of women marketers. In a recent poll of male and female marketers, 54 percent said women tend to be better listeners than men; 48 percent said women are more collaborative than men; and 45 percent said women better understand the importance of creating emotional connections to brands. Meet America's most powerful female marketers – including CMOs from McDonald's, Ann Taylor, Graco Children's Products, Arby's, Metlife, The Coca-Cola Co. and more.
PINK Slipped
This issue's PINK Slip goes to obituary editors at the nation's most prominent newspapers for gender bias when reporting on the deceased.
