17528: When It Comes To DEIBA+ Progress, Adland Networks Do Not Work.

 

During a 2009 heat shield event, former Ogilvy North American Chairman John Siefert admitted Adland was “not exactly leading the way” in DEIBA+ progress.

 

Can’t help but think of Siefert’s admission while viewing the image above featuring Ogilvy celebrating its Network of the Year honor at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

 

It’s sadly safe to say Adland—via White advertising agencies like Ogilvy—is leading the way in systemic racism.
