- Representation of women in leadership roles, such as on boards or in C-suite positions
- Contributions to advancing women’s causes through philanthropic and community efforts
- The provision of scholarship assistance to support women’s education and career development
By recognizing these exemplary companies, the New Orleans CityBusiness Empowering Women Awards celebrates achievements and encourages other organizations to adopt similar practices, fostering a community-wide commitment to gender equality.
A Digital Marketing Agency Built for and By Women
Co-founded by Angie Scott in 2006, Search Influence is dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace culture that fosters both personal and professional growth for all our team members.
We are proud to be certified as a WBENC Women’s Business Enterprise since 2022, with Angie Scott holding majority ownership. This certification not only acknowledges our efforts but also reinforces our mission to support and elevate women in the workplace.
Women are integral to the fabric of Search Influence. They make up 79% of our workforce and hold 75% of our leadership positions, with each leader having a minimum tenure of 11 years. At least two-thirds of our leadership team has been women since the very early days of Search Influence, reflecting our long-standing dedication to gender equality.
We have instituted hiring practices that promote accessibility and inclusivity. We carefully screen job descriptions to eliminate gender bias and employ a panel interview process to ensure a fair evaluation.
Our compensation structure is transparent and equitable, focusing on the value of the role and the candidate’s experience rather than relying on salary history. This practice helps prevent perpetuating salary disparities.
