Wise Women - 08.12.22

Malena Putnam grows brands and community with strategy, storytelling, and social events. She owns two companies; Yay Dude, a media and marketing company focused on celebrating community and promoting small business and local events; and Chicks in Charge, a social networking and leadership club for women business owners and managers.

 

She has branded more than two hundred companies and products over the years and hosts five events per year to promote female friendships and women-owned businesses. She is the co-founder of SHE Leads, a women’s leadership conference encouraging women to lead a life they love. In 2022, Malena was named the Alpha Chi Omega Woman of the Year for Oklahoma City and was named as an honoree for 50 Women Making a Difference in Oklahoma City by the Journal Record.

 

Malena is a married mother of three and enjoys yoga, hiking, travel, wine and reading. 

Her philosophy: Live life to the fullest and pursue your passions. 

 

“For me, life is the greatest story, chapter to chapter, one page, one sentence at a time. Adventure, nature, and personal and professional growth make this journey a wonderful ride full of cool people. I love helping my clients create their stories, too.”

 

“My spirit animal is a cross between an owl (wise) and squirrel (wild imagination). As a creative entrepreneur, my “focus” is on brand strategy, marketing, speaking and workshops, and networking events. I’m also the author of eleven novels, novellas and non-fiction books. I’m an ENTP (The Innovator), Enneagram 7w8 (Enthusiast-Leader) so brainstorming ideas and coming up with new and innovative strategies for anything and everything is totally my jam.”
