Dialing up Diversity
In 2016 the advertising industry set a target of 15 % Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) in senior leadership positions by 2020; and 40% women. However, as we approach a half way mark the IPA census shows those figures currently stands at 30.9% women and even more disappointing 4.7% BAME. So why aren’t we shifting that dial? What practical steps can agencies put in place to ensure adequate, recruitment and promotion of diverse colleagues?
