You don't necessarily have to go to poorer neighborhoods, just get to know the people and the talent will present itself to you.Promotional Productshttp://www.superiorpromos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-85176127291684497672009-08-22T11:23:21.365-05:002009-08-22T11:23:21.365-05:00Caldera is ok. Nothing great to brag about. nothin...Caldera is ok. Nothing great to brag about. nothing groundbreaking either. Just another youth outreach program. Almost every agency has youth programs and youth internships/outreach etc. Everybody wants to save these poor and disadvantaged kids, and expose them to inspirational and creative ways of self-expression, but nobody wants to hire mid and senior level minority creative with experience.-- amazing<br /><br />The internships, programs and Diversity Boards maneuver is so old and is not working. Why the hell are the big agencies ripping off each other’s failed concepts? Why are there no specific efforts to specifically designed to address the industry’s diversity problem especially on the creative side of things?<br /><br />For 20 years agencies have been using these repeating these lame schemes in order to deflect attention from hiring and the retention of minoritiy talent already in the market, and filling the mid to senior level talent void.<br /><br />For those who think Dan wieden's controversial call-to-action was amazing think again. It just gives agencies just another excuse to throw more money down the "teach minorities/internship avenue" which has failed. <br /><br />How about these agencies give insight on how they get and hire mid to senior level talent. Oh yeah I forgot they have none. So they cant give any insight. lol. The embrace youth outreach programs= just passing the blame. How many youth outreach programs do we need!!<br /><br />The industry already has plenty of “already available Black talent" they they refuse to hire. All u have is White men hiring White men and everything stays the status quo regardless of how many "caldera's" you have. The only people that bear the brunt of their failure when it comes to diversity is minorities, and not dan wieden!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-17690790717863629072009-08-22T05:02:42.297-05:002009-08-22T05:02:42.297-05:00So true.
