follow up to opening keynote on the new workforce
TRANSCRIPT
Created to raise awareness of the benefits of diversity in business and
rally professionals around a shared movement.
i’mPART calls to mind “I am part” of a movement to drive change in my
industry and my own business decisions.
The acronym represents the pillars of the initiative – to
Promote, Attract, Retain and Train Diverse talent.
DIVERSITY REDEFINED
We believe that Diversity isn’t just a number or a percentage. It isn’t just
race, creed, gender or sexual orientation. Diversity isn’t just a box to check or
“the right thing to do.”
Diversity IS inclusion, variety and different perspectives.
Diversity and inclusion mean that the advertising, media and marketing
workforce reflects the consumer marketplace that it serves. Diversity
and inclusion drives profitability and growth through team
performance, bigger talent pools, innovation and creativity.
To date, we have raised nearly $2,000,000 through our
MEDIACTION fundraiser and dedicated the funds to i’mPART’s
mission to support best-in-class talent, develop leading practices
and build a diverse professional network.
Created more than fifteen years ago, MEDIACTION unites
publishers, clients and agencies to create a cycle of good.
