Modern Muse Campaign Focuses on Female Entrepreneurs

As Fast Company kicks off its search for the most influential women in tech 2011, over in the UK the everywoman group has launched its Modern Muse campaign, aiming to show young people that businesswomen are just as glamourous and rock star-like as the celebrities they fawn over on TV.

“Younger women today tend to have a strong focus on celebrity role models,” said everywoman co-founder Karen Gill in a press release. “We want them to be exposed to a much broader canvas, to women who have built businesses or are working in major organisations, whose lives are equally glamorous.”

The UK campaign aims to reach one million girls over the next three years and will profile successful business women, highlighting the fun, exciting and fulfilling aspects of their careers.
