I’ve recently done a lot of work with external marketing agencies and I noticed that all the firms my company selected were overwhelmingly white. Typically teams full of white women with one white man. So let’s start a list of agencies that have diverse teams and staff. Here’s one I’m very aware of, Ghost Note. Add any others to the comments.

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.

Anybody struggle with imposter syndrome as a minority? How and why? Need some coping strategies man.

African American 🐟 - why do I feel so annoyed when I hear “black” ads on the radio? With the sassy female leads and the urban slang and such. Feels so forced and wack. Just me?

How painful was it to watch the situation in Charlottesville? I'm beginning to think that hatred is a unending part of American culture. No solution. No kumbaya. Just is what it is.

Counterpoint: I’m one of the few POC at a large agency and it’s really dope to be seen as an example of why agency diversity makes the work better. Any struggle outside of that is minor.

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

What's the most natural next step for a marketing coordinator?

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

Do you drink or do anything wild at company holiday parties or events? I feel like as one of the only minority associates I have to be extra careful to stay professional. All my white coworkers can talk about is the open bar and how crazy everyone gets...true or false for your company?

After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.
