The past few weeks have provided us with a strong awakening to the inequalities that exist in our country, in our workplaces, and in our industry. We realize if want to move forward as an industry, we must embrace equality and give every person — regardless of race, gender, identity, culture, ability, or age — the opportunity to reach their full potential.
We have the power to establish real, permanent change, and that’s exactly what the ANA and the Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing (AIMM) pledge to do. In a joint letter, we have put forth a list of systemic interventions for the marketing and advertising industry to follow, which will raise the bar on our diversity and inclusion efforts so we can finally achieve full equality.
