Diversity drives innovation and creativity, so why is it that only 25% of jobs in the tech industry are held by women?
To better understand the reason why, we conducted a survey of over 3,000 Americans. What we found was overwhelming – 76% agreed that there aren’t enough women working in technology, while three quarters agreed women don’t get the same level of respect as men. And there are still some people who believe that women don’t belong in tech, with 17% saying it is unfeminine to work in this field, and 6% believing that women are simply less skilled in technology.
We need to take action and make a change now.
We want to encourage and inspire more women to make waves in technology. That’s why we are proud to announce the launch of Mediaocean’s Women in Technology Scholarship Fund.

Application Deadline: August 31, 2023 Description: As an insurance agency, The Zebra has a natural interest in keeping drivers safe—fewer distracted drivers mean fewer accidents, which drives rates down for everyone—win-win, right? But as a group of individuals, and drivers, with our own lives, our own loved ones and our own concerns, we have a truly vested interest in stopping texting and driving, too.
We knew from water-cooler conversation that the dangers of texting and driving, much like those of drinking and driving, had touched many of our lives. Some of us even admitted to occasional dangerous distracted driving habits. But as we talked, it became clear: Everyone had experienced that moment when it comes to texting and driving. The moment that the very real danger crystallizes before you and you simply can’t ignore it anymore. The moment that actually causes a permanent change in your behavior. Out of these talks came an idea: why not create an opportunity for others to share the insights they have found in an illuminating moment? That is what the Safe Driver Scholarship is about: the chance for students nationwide to inspire and educate us, our readers, and young drivers everywhere who could benefit from their peers’ experience.
