博客來Megan Carr entered the male-dominated world of business and advertising in the late sixties and seventies when women were actively discouraged from having business or professional careers.
In 1972, Megan divorced her husband (taboo at the time) and was granted custody of their four children. Courage, life purpose and determination in the face of many challenges, carried her through. 1968, Megan and her best friend Adele Lucas, became business associates in their own particular fields of expertise. They were pioneers in ’Below-the - Line’ Advertising, organising live promotions and events to support the print and radio media, many years before TV. Their audacious, often wild, ideas captured the imagination of the media
and the public, which put them on the map. They were soon accepted as equals in the hallowed halls of men in business.
Megan registered Megan Carr Promotions (Pty) Ltd in 1972. With the dynamic success of its first Oil of Olay product launch, the business poured in. With the inevitable few glitches along the way, MCP continued successfully for thirty-five years. You will find many familiar names in the book.
