13855: Big Talker At ANA Conference.

Advertising Age posted a video interview with Lane Bryant EVP CMO Brian Beitler, who advocated for “size inclusivity” in marketing and society at large. Sounds like a full-figured version of diverted diversity.

Let me see if I've got the list of diversities that are more important than ethnic diversity in the ad industry right, based on recent news:

Gender diversity

Diversity of thought

Age diversity

LGBT diversity

Size diversity

Physically disabled diversity

ADD, ADHD, Dyslexic diversity

Mentally developmentally disabled diversity

(then somewhere way at the bottom of that list, ethnic diversity sometimes gets mentioned, but all the other ones are more pressing)
