Advancing women’s leadership. Shaping what comes next.
We are a media platform shaping conversations by putting women at the center of business and culture. Our work is guided by one clear mission: advancing women’s leadership and influence.
The Brand is Female amplifies women’s voices, elevates ideas, and creates platforms for visibility and connection — through media, storytelling, events, and advocacy.
Our consulting and advisory work — including strategic communications, narrative development, executive positioning, and reputation-building — is now delivered through our sister agency, Hartling Communications.
Together, the two platforms are designed to do what matters most: not just tell stories, but shape conversations that move industries forward.
The Brand is Female is a media and events platform dedicated to advancing women’s leadership by placing women at the center of business and culture. Founded in 2018 by Eva Hartling, the platform was created to amplify women’s voices, elevate ideas, and build visibility for women shaping the future of their industries.
We create spaces — both editorial and experiential — where women leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers are seen, heard, and connected. Through storytelling, conversations, and community-driven programming, we shape narratives that influence how leadership is understood and practiced.
Our work spans sectors including financial services, consumer brands, culture, and public institutions, and is grounded in one objective: creating meaningful, lasting impact by advancing women’s influence in business and beyond.
Our top-charting podcast, The Brand is Female, presented by TD Women in Enterprise, further extends this mission by sharing the stories of women redefining leadership, success, and power.
