Denise Duffy
Denise Duffy fell in love with women’s soccer and took an analytical approach (as most software engineers do) at discovering and solving the the major problem of the game – small salaries and lack of funds for the athletes.
Denise and her team dove head first into solving this problem creating Backr, an online platform that gives athletes the opportunity to make money by using the power of their own brand; and gives fans the opportunity to support their favorite athletes. (11’)

Vivyen Bowdler
As a Senior Creative at Twitter UK, Viv Bowdler presented the idea of creating a Women’s World Cup social media campaign unlike anything we’ve seen before – one that would lift up the tournament and its footballers.
This unique campaign included the hashtag #WomeninFootball, a specially-designed emoji (created by Viv), high-quality produced spotlight videos, and beautifully painted street murals depicting many of the stars in women’s football.,
This campaign could only be created and championed by someone who absolutely loves the game and that’s Viv Bowdler! This is one interview you’ll never forget! (49′)
