Some marketers are sharing their digital sense by coaching others, some are using it for the growth of the companies they work, and some are taking digital marketing to make them known to the mass, while some are providing employment to the unemployed by letting them know such skills and help them get a job.

On the whole, women marketers are driving the digital marketing space on their own terms.
