Launch of Until There Are Nine
Former Advertising Executive Launches Platform to Give Women the Tools to Get Paid and Promoted
New York, NY — Weary of networking and advocacy groups simply talking about gender inequity issues in the workplace, a former ad agency executive has launched a groundbreaking membership platform, Until There Are Nine, to offer women tangible support to close their personal pay and promotion gap.
Bhavana Smith, who has been a member of global leadership teams at major holding companies, WPP, Publicis and consulting firm, Accenture, has enlisted 20+ senior executives, mostly former colleagues across industries, to form an Advisory network to share first-hand experiences on what it actually takes to advance in corporate America.
So far, Bhavana and her team of Advisors have helped women across 50+ different companies including Walt Disney, TikTok, Roku, WPP and Publicis.
“A senior account executive in Chicago doubled her salary by following our Playbook and advice” said Bhavana Smith, Founder & CEO. “While we were thrilled for her, it goes to show you just how underpaid she was. No recruiter is going to tell you to ask for more. They’ll gladly pay you less than their budget.”
Despite some progress in workplace gender equity, women still earn just 84 cents for every dollar earned by men, resulting in a staggering $500 billion loss annually in the US alone.
While many women have lots of mentors, they’re not receiving practical training and tools in the workplace on critical aspects of career development, such as how to communicate their value contribution, the importance of networking and stakeholder management and focusing on work that will get them promoted and avoid burn out.
Until There Are Nine takes the lessons learned of various Advisors and puts them into playbooks and step by step guides coupled with 1:1 advice that many women find invaluable.
Key Features of Until There Are Nine:
- 1:1 Advisor Sessions: Personalized guidance from experienced executives who have successfully navigated careers barriers in the workplace.
- Group Coaching: Regular workshops and webinars providing insights on a range of topics, from negotiating salaries to advancing to the C-suite.
- Proprietary Career Navigation System: Step-by-step guides and playbooks to overcome career obstacles and accelerate professional growth.
- Real-Time Pay Data Integration: Exclusive partnership with Payscale, offering members the same salary data used by HR professionals enabling precise and confident salary negotiations.
“Our goal is to become the ultimate destination for women who want to advance their careers while helping others in the process.” said Bhavana. “Our platform addresses a crucial market gap,” Smith explained. “While executive coaching exists for women at the top, we’re democratizing access to high-level career strategies for women at all stages, particularly those critical early years where the pay and promotion gap begins to widen dramatically.”
The organization’s name references the iconic quote by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who, when asked how many women on the Supreme Court would be “enough,” famously replied, “When there are nine.”
