DCM’s CEO, Karen Stacey was awarded CEO of the Year at the Campaign Magazine Female Frontiers Awards 2023, which took place on the afternoon of Thursday 16 March at The Brewery in London.
The event included a series of panel discussions with industry experts before the awards were handed out. The awards champion inspirational women in advertising, media, marketing and technology.
Karen has over 35 years’ experience across the media and advertising industry, and has navigated DCM through both the biggest successes and the most difficult times. Most notably of the latter was the Covid 19 pandemic, when cinemas closed and revenue dropped to zero overnight. Adopting DCM’s attitude of ‘Always Looking Forward’, Karen led her team to rebuild the company and cinema’s industry reputation, and the latest figures are proof of how the industry has bounced back stronger than ever under her leadership.
Also nominated for the award of CEO of the Year were Claire Humphris from Iris, Kelly Parker from Wavemaker UK, Natalie Bell from MG OMD and Tamara Littleton from The Social Element. All these women have proven to be incredible leaders in the media and advertising industry, and so Karen Stacey from DCM was among great company.
DCM was also shortlisted in the Diverse-Inclusive Workplace category, which recognises businesses committed to creating a workplace that everyone feels like they belong in. The winner on the night was Omnicom Media Group, with Ketchum being highly commended.
