Katy Howell discusses the state of diversity in advertising and marketing agencies
The marketing sector is making efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive workforce, and immediate future, as a diverse organisation from the top down, is working with others to inspire improvement and action.
That means being involved in industry workgroups, joining and supporting those that are championing diversity, mentoring and helping those who would like to consider a career in marketing, and speaking at events.
Katy Howell, our CEO, will be moderating a panel at this year’s BD100: Winning Together to discuss the state of diversity in the advertising and marketing agency world, why the minority presence (of all kinds) is so low and why having a diverse workforce is so important to an agency’s purpose, stature and growth potential.
She’s joined by panellists
- Jerry Daykin, EMEA Senior Media Director, GSK
- Ally Owen, Founder, Brixton Finishing School
- Siji Onabajo, Growth Director, Cyber-Duck
Join to hear the changemakers, be inspired into action and enjoy a chance to think beyond agency life and make a better, more inclusive place for all.
