A 15-year-old entrepreneur from Skaneateles is taking her mission global with a new partnership aimed at uplifting women in tech and business.
Hannah Williams, founder of Smart Girl Stories, announced a collaboration with email marketing giant MailerLite that will both spotlight the women behind the platform and enhance Smart Girl Stories’ own digital outreach. The partnership, unveiled February 28, brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to empowering women and fostering connection.
As part of the collaboration, Smart Girl Stories will publish features on women working at MailerLite, exploring their career journeys and the roles they play in shaping the company’s success. From software development and product design to legal and customer service, the series will offer readers insight into the wide-ranging expertise of women in tech.
In turn, Smart Girl Stories will adopt MailerLite as its primary newsletter platform. Williams praised the platform’s accessibility and powerful features, saying it aligns with her organization’s mission to amplify female voices and connect with an engaged audience.
“We love the platform for our newsletters and their commitment to providing a powerful and accessible email marketing platform aligns perfectly with our mission,” Williams said.
The collaboration also gives Smart Girl Stories access to MailerLite’s full suite of tools, including automation, segmentation, and analytics—resources Williams plans to use to further grow and engage her publication’s audience.
MailerLite CEO Indre Sizovaite echoed the enthusiasm, calling the partnership a chance to inspire and champion diversity. “We’re excited to partner with Smart Girl Stories to share our journeys, inspire future leaders, and showcase the power of inclusivity in the tech and business world,” Sizovaite said.
Founded by Williams under the banner of Smart Girl Media Corporation, Smart Girl Stories focuses on telling inspiring stories of women around the world. Through interviews, features, and multimedia storytelling, the platform aims to highlight resilience, achievement, and connection among women of all ages.
