6007: Sharecropping Thoughts With Sanford Moore.


The ever-provocative Sanford Moore left a comment at AdAge.com, responding to the story featured in Essay 6003…

Omnicom cannot meet its goals with NYC Human Rights Commission to hire minority execs but they can use them in their “sharecropper” agencies to prey on ethnic assignments designed and intended for MBEs. Doesn’t Nissan have to honor minority certification requirements? How can so-called minority agencies report to an Omnicom staff exec? The paradox is while “carpetbagging” ethnic budgets, Omnicom can continue to “redline” ethnic media and enforce a “separate and unequal” media paradigm. Is this “Mad Men” or “Gone With The Wind?” The bottom line is that this is not about “winning” an account review … but restraint-of-trade and anti-trust practices.
