Come and listen to our Host, Candace Gish, as she chats with today's guest, Amy Vaughan, for our "Season of Shift: Women on the Edge of Reinvention" Podcast Series.
This series spotlights women who used this reflective season (Oct–Dec) to make major life pivots—career changes, endings, spiritual awakenings, and brave beginnings.
A rebel with a cause and creative force, Amy transforms brands and leaders through 15+ years of enterprise creative leadership and purpose-driven innovation. As an award-winning Creative Director, she's created campaigns for global brands including Ford, P&G, Walmart, and Humana—consistently pushing boundaries while delivering measurable impact.
Today, she serves multiple missions: As CEO of Together Digital, she leads a platform empowering 500+ women in digital and tech through strategic networking and community building. As Managing Director of The Marketer Collaborative, she's creating a space designed for innovation, creativity, and community—helping professionals elevate their work by elevating their surroundings.
