I've heard 4A's tried to collect diversity data from agencies in the past and the legal departments of the major holding companies stonewalled them.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Probably not. I know IPG, Omnicom, and WPP publish this information on their websites.

They made it public information.

How do you know it’s not correct?

(Genuine question)

A lot of times, when they do things like that (e.g. their salary survey), you only receive the output if your co shared input.

Maybe the holding cos just didn’t care to see the diversity makeup of mostly small-midsized agencies?

Idk but I also don’t think aggregate data would tell the whole story. In general (having worked at 5 different agencies) I have noticed that the more “prestigious” the agency, the whiter it is, with the exception of juniors and interns. Weird too bc generally those agencies are more preoccupied with being socially conscious. Granted I don’t know if this is true across the board, but it’s what I’ve seen in NY. It’s starting to change at lower levels with MAIP as a recruiting pipeline, but TBD if that will turn into more diverse leadership in a few years.

There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?
