DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

As marketing professionals, we’re aware of our industry’s diversity gap—and we’re choosing to actively combat it. Through our partnerships with The Brand Lab, People of All Colors Succeed, ProX, Cristo Rey of Kansas City and CEOs for Real World Learning, we’re working to make a difference in the marketing/advertising industry and develop a diverse talent pipeline.
