16307: Scorn On The Fourth Of July.

 

Adland gleefully celebrates the 4th of July—despite the fact that four of the big six holding companies are not American enterprises, hailing from Japan, France, and the UK.

 

Does this reality impact true dedication to DE&I initiatives? Do the majority of holding company leaders view such nettlesome matters as primarily US concerns—local nuisances to check off from to-do lists preceded by more pressing priorities like quarterly earnings, mergers, award pursuits, digital capabilities, and AI? And it doesn’t help that holding companies take a colonizing approach to growth.

 

Are most of the men in charge—by virtue of their geopolitical perspectives and foreign interests—further levels removed from those seeking equality and justice?
