A former Think New Ideas sales manager is suing them for alleged gender discrimination and sexual harassment. The company denied charges in a response filed last week.
Mary McKearney filed a lawsuit in Lowell, Mass., against the Boston marketing firm and its managing director, Daniel McCartney, alleging inappropriate sexual comments and behavior toward her and other female employees.
“These acts occurred within a business environment where managing personnel, including McCartney, openly objectified women and created the perception that a woman’s success with the company depended upon her attractiveness,” according to the suit.
McKearney was hired by BBG New Media in July 1994, before it was acquired by New York-based Think New Ideas.
