Advertising agencies have responded to pleas to open their doors to people from different backgrounds in different ways. Some have resisted the please and some have faltered in public while others have managed to listen and make structural, policy, and cultural change happen.
In this episode of Sweathead, I speak with Tanya Brown who co-chairs the Equals Network and Simi Nijher who co-chairs the Heritage Network. These “networks” are two of the six Diversity and Inclusion networks that sit across M&C Saatchi Group’s businesses.
We discuss:
- The importance of bottom-up D&I networks
- How to know if they’re working
- Which topics are getting attention right now
