Taking another look at The Truth About Talent from The Blueprint, the sections on diversity and inclusion feature quotes (depicted above) from “transformational leaders” at White advertising agencies. Two points worth noting:
• There is diversity of thought—or thoughtlessness—regarding the industry’s dedication and commitment to progress. One quote declares DEI “is at the front and centre of every decision we make.” Another admits “DEI is not at the top of enough people’s lists.” A third contends that those claiming to have achieved DEI success are Charlatans.
• There is diversity of predictions for when the dream of DEI might be realized, with guesstimates ranging from 5-10, 12, and 20 years. Hey, in 2014, White advertising agency Leo Burnett estimated equality would arrive in 66 years.
In summation, The Truth About Talent demonstrates Adland’s timeless talent for twisting the truth.
