How many Black people are involved in actual ad jobs at your company/agency? Not support roles or HR or anything actual advertising jobs. There are literally 2 of us in the creative department.

Some in account management but that's pretty much it. I've noticed most of the minorities here are in support or DEI roles.

Me

I am the only one, but I touch every campaign, I’m in every pitch, have the trust and respect of the executive across our network.

What agency are you at? Mine has 3

20-30?

Curious how many (if any) were impacted by layoffs today?

I'm the only black copywriter and the only black male, only two female identifying black art directors. It's just us 3.

I'm the only black creative in an agency of 20–30 people

Me. There are 2 of us now. Still the only Black woman tho

I was the only black copywriter at my former mid-sized agency. Was given small projects but contributed to all of our major campaigns as a copyeditor.

About 50 black ppl out of 500 total. We span strategy, account, and creative and maybe production. I don’t think any of us are in ‘support’/ admin type roles.

The # looks nice but truth be told, it’s not a great environment for Us - that’s a whole other story.

I am surprised Droga even has that number; pretty much everyone knows their reputation when it comes to a lack of diversity. I hope you excel :)

We've got 2 creatives, 1 account, 2 PMs. Dang, that's sad.

Me. But I’m the only one amongst 25

What market are you in

That is a great question. 27, but we are a company of 80.

Are y’all hiring?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%.

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).
