New York, NY — Optimum Media’s Nafeesa Bratcher, Donna Ra’anan-Lerner, and Jenna Teodoro have been named to Cynopsis’s 2024 Top Women in Media for their exemplary work in the advertising industry.
Nafeesa Bratcher has been recognized as a “Director Who Does it All.” As the Director of Customer Success at Optimum Media, Bratcher’s leadership has enabled tens of millions in digital ad sales each year and has helped transform Optimum Media’s reputation as a linear expert into a trusted multiscreen partner. She created and implemented a program to offer an elevated client experience with a hands-on approach to managing accounts alongside the Optimum Media Local Advertising Sales team. She is also a leader of the company’s Women’s Leadership Program, which provides the rising women leaders from across the company access to the support needed to ensure they can continue to grow as professionals and leaders themselves.
Donna Ra’anan-Lerner, a Senior Account Executive for Optimum Media’s political team, has been named an “Ad Sales Superstar.” Ra’anan-Lerner helped to identify and close business with key agencies and clients who are handling the major advertising investments this election cycle, most notably the Biden for President campaign, Optimum Media’s top-spending political account in 2024. She has secured over $50M in endeavor agreements from key agencies and clients involved in the upcoming election — across multiple important clients.
“Cross-Platform Commander” is the title awarded to Jenna Teodoro, a producer for Optimum Media’s Creative Services department. Teodoro is the creative liaison between Optimum Media and News 12, leading all projects that incorporate News 12 sponsorships and ensuring the entire team is aware of new artwork, guidelines, and procedures to make sure News 12 standards are upheld and sponsorships run smoothly. Her involvement has created a seamless integration for our company’s brands across campaigns and multiple screens.
News 12’s Erin Colton and Beth Rafferty have also been named to Cynopsis’s Top Women in Media this year.
Our winners will be recognized at a formal gala on October 9, 2024, in New York City. For more information on Cynopsis Top Women in Media, please visit the official website.
