What does Mavens of Manufacturing do?

Mavens of Manufacturing is a live video series and platform founded by Meaghan Ziemba that highlights women in U.S. manufacturing. Launched in late 2020, the platform features live interviews every Friday, showcasing women from various roles in the industry, including shop floor workers, executives, and students. The series aims to celebrate their stories and inspire others to consider careers in manufacturing. The platform has four main goals: to raise awareness of U.S. manufacturing, recruit younger generations into the field, attract more women to fill future vacancies, and provide a space for brands to share their stories. The core offering is a video and podcast series where guests discuss their career journeys and insights. Additionally, Ziemba operates Z-ink Solutions, which provides marketing and content creation services to help manufacturers effectively communicate their narratives. The focus is on digital media, advocacy, and education to promote diversity and career pathways in manufacturing.
