Some important things to consider...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />Some important things to consider.<br /><br />My partner and CFO is Black.<br /><br />My other partner and ECD is Black.<br /><br />Another partner and Chief Digital Officer is a white Italian from Australia.<br /><br />So out of my 3 partners and plus myself as Chairman/CEO/CCO, there are 3 African-Americans and 1 white.<br /><br />I have a white CD.<br /><br />I have a Brazilian ACD.<br /><br />I have 1 white writer and 2 black writers.<br /><br />I have a black art director.<br /><br />I have a Black intern.<br /><br />I have a Black assistant.<br /><br />In nine days, 2 very talented Asians will begin working at Amusement Park.<br /><br />And shortly there after, I’ll be hiring 3 more African-Americans.<br /><br />Finally, Amusement Park only does general market work.<br /><br />So, my good man or woman, obviously you weren’t aware of the facts. If you were I’m sure your post wouldn’t have been so misguided.<br /><br />Godspeed - Jimmy<br /><br />P.S. Lee Clow has hired a whole host of African-Americans as writers, art directors and creative directors...including me.Jimmy Smithhttp://www.amusementparkentertainment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-73017530340753045152012-02-21T11:28:19.971-06:002012-02-21T11:28:19.971-06:00What are any of these black execs doing to fix div...What are any of these black execs doing to fix diversity in advertising? Any groundbreaking ideas from back creatives Jimmy Smith & Jenyatta or Keith Cartwright ? They gave the most, bland & innocent answers, I guess they realize that they are tokens, so they best to keep their mouths shut. You speak out against diversity, best believe you will get blackballed. These dudes are no different from Jeff Goodby & David Droga or Lee Clow. Everybody talks a good game, its all lip service. Either change the game or just shut up, because u have done nothing groundbreaking to fix diversity your just as bad as the white folks who arent doing anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
