Geiger, Gina Grillo and all the rest of the Adcolor organizers take the tens of thousands of dollars that Omnicom pays them for participating in Adcolor (which just serves as a smokescreen to stop Omnicom’s agencies from actually diversifying) and use that money to TRACK SOME ACTUAL DAMN DIVERSITY STATISTICS IN US ADVERTISING.<br /><br />That all of the above spend 99% of their energies this year on retaining people of color in advertising who are already in the system, and 1% on encouraging middle schoolers to join the industry. Reversing what they’ve been wasting all their energy on all this time, in other words.<br /><br />That the PepsiCo guy who complained about everyone in advertising being white, heterosexual males puts his money where his product is and gives a nice, fat contract to an ethnically diverse agency <br /><br />That for every vaguely brown person an all-white ad agency casts in their ads, they hire two more actual ones full-time behind the scenes. <br /><br /><br /><br />midtownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-59199236024195968882015-12-24T16:47:44.540-06:002015-12-24T16:47:44.540-06:00Gawd I wish I hadn’t clicked on that EEO-1 data li...Gawd I wish I hadn’t clicked on that EEO-1 data link and read the comments.
