OP, I think we’re all a little confused about your motivations? Mr. Geer’s post seems measured and reasonable. He’s raising a legitimate question. Whether you agree with him or not. You however are dragging his name through the gutter on an industry board., with what amounts to a deceptive headline.

Walter also called out Gary Vee public ally for not living up to his promise of hiring more c-level people of color. He’s got a voice and he’s doing good with it if you ask me.

Read your comment and expected to see something much different than what I did. Sounds like he’s speaking for a lot of people. I suppose I was confused by the way you framed it. This guy is most definitely calling something out, but in an elegant way. I feel like labeling this “canceled” as you did takes it down a peg. It’s more important than that.

Not trying to disagree with you, I just thought I’d encounter something a little different than what I did after reading your post.

Yeah, I don’t know if the phrase originated form Internet speak or song lyrics, but it feels quite misused here.

This seems super-reasonable to me. If agencies say they’re going to do something, they should do it. Good on him for holding them accountable (and in public too, because that’s what puts the pressure on them).

I think Walter is justifiable and I see where he's coming from. We're (People of color) often questioning why agencies and brands don't give work to agencies/vendors owned/run by POC. Droga5 is mostly white and there's no guarantee that they'd give their employees of color the opportunity to work on this. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I think he's calling for transparency and open communication from Ad Color
