Progress Report: Racial Equity and Agency Action
The agency world, like many other industries, is standing face-to-face with the ugly realities of systemic racism and implicit bias, particularly in recent months. And as the visceral nature of the conversation has subsided for some, the reality of “the work” is coming into focus for many. As agencies seek to involve, promote, and invest in the often overlooked contributions of its BIPOC employees, clients, and partners, a series of questions arise: What are the right steps to take? How do we recover from missteps? How do we develop a productive relationship with clients who aren’t making the progress that we are?
In this candid conversation with agency leaders, moderated by Sylvain Labs Managing Director, Aaron Powers, you’ll learn about the type of progress they’re chasing, and leave with practical advice on how we can all make a meaningful difference for our employees, our clients, our industry and our communities.
