For nearly 30-years she has never rested on her laurels and has continued to push new boundaries in publishing and media in general,” says Caysey Welton, Folio: Content Director. “She is an Emmy Award winner, bestselling author and successful entrepreneur, and now, a star on Facebook Live. Not to mention her name alone is a powerful brand, as evident by her deep product lines, which are synonymous with quality."

Martha is the original influencer in the lifestyle category, inspiring millions of readers and setting the benchmark for quality content,” says Meredith Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Harty. “No one is more deserving than Martha for this honor, and we are thrilled she is part of the team at Meredith Corporation.”
