Great Minds: People and Culture

Despite industry efforts, a recent Wave II of Global DEI Census shows no improvement in inclusion; in fact, 1 in 7 people say they’d consider leaving the advertising industry due to a lack of diversity and inclusion.
Today, we talk to Ruth Mortimer, Global President of Advertising Week (AW), on how AW approaches DEI through the two “A”s – Attitude and Action.

In our debut episode, host Ren Akinci speaks with Natasha Bowman, author and a champion for workplace equity, as well as a top voice for mental health. Natasha is Founder and President of Performance ReNEW, a talent management and leadership development firm committed to helping organizations cultivate their most valuable asset: people.
