Have you ever been part of an award-winning ad agency or campaign? Have yet to see black people equally represented at these awards

Thanks for pointing this out!

Similar to Black QBs winning MVP in the NFL.

You need to have a higher amount in the positions to see real representation.

Until we have a fair amount of Black CCO’s/CMO’s, we will not see ourselves on the podium.

This is mostly a larger problem of representation within creative agencies themselves. It’s different in various parts of the world. I can speak for Ireland in that black representation in agencies is less than 1%. I do know one person, and they happen to work for an award-winning agency.

What kind of awards are we talking here? Design awards? Yes. Advertising awards? Mostly no unless the black person is a writer and/or has a white creative partner to make the recruiters and creative department (mainly white people) feel comfortable. If that black person does not have a white creative partner, it is damn near imposible to be taken serious by award winning advertising agencies and their recruiters.

Woah, wasnt expecting all this but I value both perspectives. I think there's truth on both sides but I agree with CD1, we should def focus on uplifting each other
