15998: Why Do DE&I Top Employers Employ DE&I Bottom Feeders?

 

DiversityComm, Inc. named the 2022 Top Employers for diversity, equity and inclusion—over 200 companies including the world’s premier brands. Absent from the list are any advertising agencies, except for Deloitte, which has only been trying to transition from consulting to marketing communications in recent years.

 

It begs the annual question why behemoths like WPP, IPG, Publicis Groupe and Omnicom are nowhere to be seen. More importantly, why do mega advertisers in the collection—who publicly declare DE&I dedication—continue to partner with White advertising agencies where diversity is delegated, diverted, deferred and denied?
