Zig Then Zag: A White Castle Alum's Path To CMO

"I'd be in meetings and be the only woman in a meeting, and they'd be shouting phrases out at me and things that were inappropriate, and, I made a decision, I was going to rise above all that." The "that" was the harassment she received from men she worked with early on in her career, and Kim Bartley certainly rose above it. The former White Castle CMO successfully advanced through the ranks at the quick service restaurant chain and now shares her learnings as an instructor at The Ohio State University. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Kim talks about seizing opportunities, why life and career are about harmony not balance, and what she believes is the most important thing one can do as a leader.

Got Something To Say? | Speaker Proposal

MediaPost's events share insights, instructive case studies and best practices by and for marketers and media planners. Our editorial programmers welcome proposals in all of these categories that feature brand, and in some cases, agency executives. Proposals can offer specific speakers for an existing agenda item or offer new ideas. Contact Lisa Singer (lisa@mediapost.com) with your suggestions. We encourage vendors to recommend their clients with good stories to share, but vendor presentations or co-presentations are not allowed in MediaPost content. Vendors wishing to present at our events have a range of sponsor presentation and event participation options available outside of the editorial content. Please contact Jon Whitfield (jon@mediapost.com) for more information.
