Every year, DiversityInc presents its Top 50 Companies for Diversity® list. It’s no surprise that advertising agencies and global marketing networks never make the lineup. Yet it is perplexing to see the major corporations being honored. How can these advertisers be so committed to diversity, but so willing to partner with an industry whose lack of inclusiveness has inspired a potential class-action lawsuit? Even DiversityInc co-founder Luke Visconti remarked, “There is no question in my mind about why Cyrus Mehri is coming after the ad agencies.” Here’s the question in everyone else’s mind: Where will the diversity-loving advertisers stand once the inevitable showdown happens?
