BLACK WOMEN IN ADVERTISING WEEK: MARCH 1-5
March 1, 2021: “Ride or DEI?”
Ride or DEI? In the aftermath of George Floyd, many corporations announced financial commitments to help heal communities. Are companies walking their talk, or just talking the talk? While the industry is clear about the why and what of DEI work, it is still collectively struggling with the HOW?
The Black women leading Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are on the frontlines in hiring, shaping messages, and helping to direct billions of dollars in advertising spending. The panel will provide an understanding of DEI, challenges, and opportunities for success.
Angela B. Turner, SVP Marketing & PR at REVOLT Media & TV will lead this important conversation with Dani Jackson-Smith, VP Multicultural and DEI Steward, Edelman Chicago, and Ericka Riggs, Chief DE&I, Omnicom Specialty Marketing Group.
BLACK WOMEN IN ADVERTISING WEEK: MARCH 1-5
"MOBE, Conversations and Case Studies You Don't Hear Anywhere Else"
MARCH 2
Black women have a legendary history in the advertising industry, from the creation of the Pillsbury Doughboy to Secret’s “Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman”. Today, women are the leaders of the most influential advertising agencies. How will the disruption caused by the death of George Floyd shape the future of Black and multicultural agencies?
MARCH 3
In our connected digital age, ads have to level up to rise above the noise. Our panelists will take us through their unique approaches to storytelling that have led to campaigns that have captured audiences across the nation. These dynamic women will also share how they’ve crafted their story along the way, rising up as leaders and creating game-changing impact within the ad industry.
MARCH 4
Advertising is the backbone of media. Sure, people enjoy football, but the annual anticipation of the Super Bowl is partially built by the expectations of the new commercials. The pandemic sped up the transition of advertising in traditional media towards electronic and social media. Find out how these women are managing sales in this economy and learn the secrets of their success.
MARCH 5
The multi-billion dollar advertising industry is in the midst of a great disruption with the fractioning of media, exponential growth of social media and streaming platforms, combined with a consumer social awakening. Marketing executives are ultimately responsible for the ROI. How are they navigating, connecting, measuring and evaluating opportunity for the new paradigm?
