Mindshare's Stephanie Gaynor Named One of Cynopsis Media's Rising Stars of 2021

Congratulations to Stephanie Gaynor, Managing Director, Customer Strategy, on being named one of Cynopsis Media’s Rising Stars of 2021! 

These awards spotlight stand-out performers, innovators and emerging leaders – 35 years or younger – in the media industry, who are building their careers in various industries such as research, digital, marketing, and more. 

At Mindshare, Stephanie leads customer strategy in our work with Unilever, including brands such as Dove, Talenti, Hellman’s, and others. Her advocacy for an audience-first mentality in data application speaks volumes and raises the bar for everyone in our industry. And as part of that, she played a key role in the development of the industry’s first-ever Data Ethics Compass with GroupM.   

Stephanie’s win follows a slew of other recent honors for Mindshare leaders in 2021, including the She Runs It Change the Game Awards (Nicole Estebanell, North America Transformation Officer), the HERoes Women Role Model Lists (Valerie Henniger, Managing Director, Strategic Planning), New York Women in Communications’ Matrix Awards (Amanda Richman, North America CEO), Cynopsis Media's Top Women in Media (Danielle Koffer, Chief Client Officer, U.S.), The Internationalist's Agency Innovators (Joe Maceda, Global Chief Innovation Officer), Business Insider's list of ad execs leading the way in a privacy-centric world (Shane McAndrew, Global Chief Data Strategy Officer), and more.
