Asians in Advertising! Want to know what the Asian representation is at other agencies?

We just launched the Agency DEI Database to standardize diversity data and measure progress for the industry.

Hope it’s helpful and help us spread the word! 🙏 @agencyDEI on LI and IG

“The thing with showing more diversity in our photography is that the more diverse we are, the less elevated our photography feels.”
😐😐😐😐

Hey, I graduated UChicago and took a finance analyst position. However, I am looking to switch into management consulting because of a couple factors I have realized matter more to me than I realized: 1. Team and Collaborative problem-solving, 2. Diversity of companies and industries I am exposed to because of entrepreneurial hopes in the future.

Would appreciate any likes I could dm or any comments with firms I should look into that could be a good fit and hire off-cycle or for January 2023!

Heard my N+1 referring to me and other Arab coworkers "sand n******" behind our back, right after sermoning our team about inclusion and diversity 🤦🏻‍♂️

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

Just graduated from portfolio school, and was wondering how the creative world is looking in terms of gender representation. Are there a lot of male/female teams or is it mainly male dominated?

Does your agency have a Diversity and Inclusion program? And do you have any PoC in leadership?

How do you professionally address a noticeable lack of diversity on your team? More than 85% of my team is white or white passing, and of the remaining individuals none are Black, Indigenous, or AAPI.

The ad industry is legendarily homogenous. Won’t unionizing simply close ranks & protect existing white professionals, who then protect other professionals just like them, resulting in LESS diversity?

I9 verification support needed:

Can an employee use a Virginia Criminal Justice Agency Offender Information Form for the i9? USIC website says “The ID document listed first in List B does not have to be a driver's license - it can be any government-issued ID card, even a parolee's ID card if the date of birth, gender, height, eye color, and address are on it.” But it’s a certified FORM not ID card. Thoughts?

Anyone have embryo genetic results where everything was normal but the gender portion?

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

How do I transition from a Senior Executive Assistant role to Project Management? Ideally I would like to work in tech. How should I go about this? I currently work in the Real estate industry so it would be a totally new career path. The reason I want to move into tech is I feel like many of the companies I see have the same values as me (diversity & inclusion) and a good culture is so important to me.

Does BCW not allow conservatives to be employed at this company? I’m sitting through another meeting where we are highlighting amazing women and it is so politicized I am completely offended. AOC, Biden, Ilhan, Hilary... I mean at try to be inclusive when speaking of diversity. You can’t name a single female in the Conservative party throughout history?

How do you suggest creative agencies address "forced diversity" requests (demands) from clients or internal management when casting talent?

From the moderator, for discussion.

Should white males be concerned that current focus on diversity will lead to negative results

If Yes, why and under what conditions
If No, why not?

Thinking to join Deloitte at the end of the month. Good or bad idea?

Hi Folks,

Hey, everyone! Hoping someone may have a lead for a free online database for training approvals and registrations? It doesn’t need to be fancy! I’m in a new role in the public sector and am trying to move them out of Outlook and Excel messiness for training registrations. I’m just looking to streamline and centralize the process. (We don’t have SharePoint or any centralized database.) Thanks in advance!

What is valued more? Experience or having a masters degree? Especially when it comes to promotions.

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

Curious: for those evaluated or incentivized on utilization and hours, how does that affect your work planning and productivity? Any negative impact? Not knocking anyone's system, just wondering.

Hi, what is diff between EPAM anywhere and EPAM systems.?

is it safer to join EPAM Anywhere considering recession@?

Technically, if you are rich enough, isn’t self-insurance the best option? Insurance companies have to make money by taking in more in premiums than paying out in claims, so on average the customer is losing money and has a negative (albeit stable) NPV on their insurance money. But if you had enough money to tolerate the risk of a unexpectedly high expense, wouldn’t it be better to not pay for the insurance?

How long till the dip stops? Wondering if i should buy or wait for it to dip more 🤔

Can we talk about the rise of hate crimes in AAPI community? My heart is heavy as we celebrate Lunar New Year this year.

New CEO/CCO is Asian. Feeling empowered

Are our minds, as asians, just wired differently?

Honestly don’t think advertising is good for Asians - I’ve met very few if any especially in strategy.

When your team director calls you out for liking crazy rich Asians, and says, “I didn’t call on you because you’re Asian....” in front of my entire team of 70 people.

Hi everyone! New to Fishbowl and working remotely in Portland area, if anyone wants to connect!

Whatttt'sssss good my dooooods

I just became co-chair of our the Asian group at our holding company. Need your help with ideas to help improve our program I was thinking mentorship, events and speakers focused on industry topics. If you had an Asian focused group in D&I, what would you be interested in?

Do you find being an Asian in this industry has had any pros /cons or no affect on your success?

We all heard about black history month. Will a yellow history month be cool or offensive?

Any male Asians , feel that they have been passed up for a role because they are Asian ? Feels like the Asian man dating effect spills over into corporate culture . Or am I alone n over thinking it?

LA or NYC? Been in NYC for 9 years and am starting to think theres less discrimination in LA as an asian male

Hello from Portlandia- I'm new to the bowl + just wanted to connect ;)

I’m proud of you everyone!!

Is your agency doing anything for AAPI Heritage Month?

Asian leadership, pls post names

I've been seeing a lot of ADCOLOR posts on linkedin, and some of the people who are liking and reposting it are some of the same people who were blatantly racist and rude to me when I worked with them. I wish there was something I could say/do about it, but it's literally making my blood boil seeing them like posts about "uplifting" and "supporting" BIPOC, only because I know that once they get off their screens and they're the meanest people

Happy Lunar New Year!

looking for friends in nyc to hang with and yes i am desperate enough to post on fishbowl for it. my isolation level is over 9000 and i just moved here 😂😅🥲😩😭 it’s cold out there without the homies to keep you warm 🥶
