How Susan Betteridge and Kate Black of Pahnke, Own It

Hi and welcome to the OWN IT podcast, where we celebrate the growing number of (women and non-binary) ad agency owners and talk about buying out of the boys’ club of advertising, one agency at a time.  In this episode, we talk to Kate Black and Susan Betteridge from Pahnke.  I so enjoy hearing the stories of partnership and co-ownership, so having Kate and Susan on the podcast was exciting. And their story of coming together to form Pahnke is not your typical shared ownership story. In fact, Kate even said she didn’t want to return to agency life after seeing the industry from the publishing side of the aisle working at The Onion of all places. Creativity brought her around and Susan asked her not to work at an agency, but help lead one.  And, of course, we talk about their ideas on closing the gender gap in agency ownership. You’re really going to enjoy this conversation. Thanks for listening to this episode of OWN IT with  Kate Black and Susan Betteridge from Pahnke.
