Hi Everyone! Glad to see this group has people from all over commenting! What are ways that we could help agencies recruit more Latino talent? College fairs? High school Fairs? Where to do we start?

I can say MAIP got me into advertising and into the agency I'm in. Doing One Club Bootcamps helped me see what advertising was about.

I think mentoring is important to get more poc into ad agencies.

I studied at a predominantly white institution where I constantly felt out of place, especially in my major. I was always hearing about my white peers landing internships with agencies because of relatives/ connections. I was grateful for MAIP and MPMS which granted me exposure to the agency world and a community of poc students like myself. I would suggest partnering with similar programs that cater to fostering/ mentoring poc talent.

Thanks for the feedback!
