Upon reviewing social media posts, no Adland holding companies acknowledged MLK Day.
Some could argue most holding companies are not US enterprises, being headquartered in Japan, France, the UK, etc.; hence, since MLK Day is a US holiday, the foreign-based holding companies had no obligation to salute the event.
Not sure what excuses Omnicom or Stagwell might offer to explain the snub. IPG—recognized for leadership in diversity and inclusion—no longer exists, so the former White holding company is absolved of its performative do-gooder duties.
In the end, CES trumped MLK.
Hell, even ERGs were seemingly deprived of a delegating diversity opportunity.
For Adland, the dream continues to be deliberately diverted, delegated, deferred, diminished, dismissed, and denied.
