CLOSING REMARKS#IPGINSPIREDINCLUSIVITY

COMMUNITY IMPACT & MOST EFFECTIVE

TARGETED CAMPAIGN

WEBER SHANDWICKLA LGBT Center

In LA, 87% of people with HIV are gay/bisexual men and transgender women, which is 17% higher than the national average, with African-Americans and Latinos accounting for 69% of new HIV infections and youth aged 13-24 accounting for 22% overall.

The LA LGBT Center engaged Weber Shandwick to incite action within the community to prevent HIV by promoting PrEP(HIV Prevention Treatment), driving prescriptions and overcoming stigma with the tagline “F*ck W/out Fear.” The campaign kicked off with a billboard in the heart of West Hollywood and immediately sparked controversy and debate within the community. Weber Shandwick and the LA LGBT Center partnered with LGBT designer Andrew Christian to create a “Fearless F*cker” t-shirt, sold at the flagship store in West Hollywood and distributed at events including a celebrity Oscar gifting suite. Proceeds covered transportation assistance to the Center for PrEP consultations for low-income patients.

To reach the House and Ball community, a niche group of gay/bisexual men and transgender women of color centered on dance and runway performance, Weber and the LA LGBT Center hosted the “Blue Ball” in partnership with BanjeeBall.

Additionally, the launch included a “Paint the Town Blue” event where partnering bars turned their lights blue (the

color of the PrEPpill) and hosted PrEPeducators to capture contact information and encourage people to sign up for free PrEPconsultations at the Center.

All campaign activity drove traffic to PrEPHere.org, which contained information about PrEP, a PrEPconsultation booking portal, and a “PrEPScore” risk assessment tool co-developed by the Center and UCLA researchers.

Additionally, Weber Shandwick ran a geo-targeted ad-campaign on major gay dating apps (Grindr, Scruff, Hornet and Jack’d) using original photography featuring men and transgender women of color in intimate settings.

Weber Shandwick created a “Fearless F*cker” persona on Grindr to connect users with PrEPNavigators from the Center to answer questions in real time. Those interested in starting PrEP were set up with a consultation at the Center. Campaign advertising also ran in multiple LGBT publications in both English and Spanish, as well as paid Google search, display ads and promoted social media posts.

RESULTS

Weber Shandwick’s campaign for the LA LGBT Center received over 195.5 million total media impressions, from over 147 total media placements hitting the campaign’s target audiences. The campaign led to over 700 total prescriptions during the first three months, exceeding the original goal by 1.5x, constituting a 95% increase in PrEP prescriptions among gay/bi Men of Color. PrEPHERE.org received over 25,000 page visits, leading to over 175 PrEP consults booked through the site.

BEST INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS

CAMPBELL EWALD

In 2017, Campbell Ewald launched Talks That Lead, a four-part speaker series across each of Campbell Ewald’s offices that explored the difficult conversations confronting our industry and nation today. The series was an opportunity for Campbell Ewald’s clients and employees to meet and create meaningful change in the agency’s work, brands and the advertising industry at-large.

After conducting a social audit to identify cultural subject matter of interest, the agency designed its first Talks That Lead series around a common theme: Race in America’s Adland. The series addressed topics including privilege, influence and appropriation, LatinX and industry influence. As a result of Talks that Lead, Campbell Ewald has grown its inclusion education initiatives with three new programs. These programs better examine strategic and creative work with an inclusive lens rooted in research and action.

Campbell Ewald sustains ongoing learning initiatives to make communication and education of D&I themes an integral part of the DNA of the agency. These ongoing initiatives include Courageous Conversations, a series of open forum discussions on relevant cultural subjects led by external thought leaders and experts; cultural celebrations, including a variety of experiences for employees such as desk drops, trivia events, food and music celebrations and community/

charity events; a monthly, employee-led reading group; an ongoing series of screenings of documentaries and films that showcase context around topical cultural subjects; and events and field trips held internally and offsite for immersion in the realm of D&I.

RESULTS

Growing out of Talks That Lead, Campbell Ewald has launched Cultural Quarterly: The Business Effect of Inclusion, an extensive report highlighting the latest trends in culture, music, fashion and film geared toward informing and improving the agency’s work. Campbell Ewald has also developed a creative review series, Behind the Lens, for strategists, creatives and account people to review executions within the industry to better understand work through an inclusive lens.

Campbell Ewald’s 2017 Climate for Inclusion Survey results demonstrated an increased favorability rating across all themes, with Diversity Education and Communications increasing by 10%. Over 55% of the questions on the survey received a score greater than 88% favorable.

INCLUSIVE TALENT INITIATIVES

WEBER SHANDWICK

Weber Shandwick is committed to building and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) throughout the organization. The agency recognizes that DEI is an opportunity to grow the business by leveraging the experiences, backgrounds, abilities and expectations that employees and

clients bring to the organization.In 2017, Weber partnered with

one of its top clients and one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the country to create two innovative programs to attract diverse talent: the Verizon AdFellows Program and the NYU at Weber Shandwick Masters in Residence Program. Throughout the year, the agency focused its efforts on increasing diversity within creative departments. As a result, Weber hired six diverse creatives, including associate creative directors, art directors, video and copywriting professionals. Additionally, the agency hired an expert from the leading diversity think tank to launch a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion specialty practice.

During 2017, joint programs with partners such as ColorComm, the Arthur Page Society, the Emma Bowen Foundation and the 4A’s have reached talented pools of potential employees. Local offices initiate relationships with college students through career workshops, guest lectures, office sponsored open house events and more. Weber Shandwick is now an established presence at partner events, conferences and career fairs and senior leaders help build relationships with important influencers and potential employees.

RESULTS

In 2017, diverse hires into EVP and above levels increased to 17% vs. 8% in 2016. Weber hired two diverse general managers and six diverse creatives. Also in 2017, membership on the DEI Council increased from 184 to over 230 members. Committee events and activities engaged more than 600 employees in over 80

events across the country. Over 80% of employees who attended committee events feel likely to stay at Weber Shandwick because of DEI committee-driven initiatives.

For the 2017-2018 NYU Masters in Residence Program, 100% of the participants are Female. African Americans/Blacks made up 25% of the participants while 25% of the participants are Asian and the remaining 50% of the participants are two or more races.

In 2017, Weber added almost 450 Color Comm event attendees, over 30 Arthur Page Society event attendees and over 40 Face of Talent Career Fair attendees to the candidate pipeline.

Through partnerships, Weber hired one intern from the Verizon AdFellows and two interns from the MAIP program.

INCLUSION CAMPAIGN OF THE YEAR

FCB INDIA Times of India

“No Conditions Apply”

The Times of India is the most widely-circulated daily newspaper in India, but to compete with its chief rival in Bengal, The Telegraph, The Times needed to connect with Bengalis as a people and to embed its message of “No Conditions Apply” within their culture. FCB India identified a 400-year-long tradition to deliver that message to customers and deliver results to its client.

Every year, 35 million Bengali women come together in celebration of the Goddess Durga to play “Sindoor Khela” (the vermilion game), an ancient ritual that reaffirms their womanhood with one

condition: no single women, divorcees, widows or LGBTQ are allowed. FCB India’s objective was to change this 400-year-old tradition of rejection into a tradition of acceptance to help The Times of India emerge as a local newspaper with strong roots in Bengali culture.

FCB India’s strategy was four-pronged. First, the agency created a uniquely Indian symbol that every woman could adopt and become part of a national sisterhood, two dots on the forehead in place of the singular dot traditional to Indian symbolism. Second, they partnered with leaders of minority communities including widows, transgenders, and LGBTQ, to release a digital film demanding acceptance. Next, FCB India partnered with the biggest temple in Calcutta and invited the “forbidden” women to attend Sindoor Khela. Finally, to spread this message of acceptance across all genders and generations, FCB India engaged celebrities who were vocal advocates of feminism.

RESULTS

In just four weeks, The Times of India amassed $912,335 USD in earned media and reached 708 million people, becoming the No.1 trending topic on social media with 3 million comments and thousands of two-dot selfies. The campaign successfully broke a 400-year-old patriarchal tradition when over 50 temple societies opened their doors to all women. For the first time in history, single, married, widowed, transgender individuals and sex workers joined to participate in

“Sindoor Khela.” Ultimately, in the process of finding cultural relevance, The Times of India became the No.1 newspaper in Calcutta, beating the local favorite – The Telegraph – for the first time in 10 years.

INCLUSION ALLY OF THE YEAR

JEFF CRUZ Chief Creative Officer

MRM//McCann Detroit

Jeff Cruz, Chief Creative Officer at MRM//McCann Detroit joined the agency in 2016 and has had a significant impact on the agency culture of diversity and inclusion. Jeff has made strides to foster the career development of women at the agency by hiring and promoting women into creative leadership roles, serving as a highly visible executive leader for the MRM//McCann Detroit offices for International Women’s Day and campaigning to send two creative leaders to attend the 3% Conference in New York City. For the 3% Conference, Jeff Cruz also ensured that half of the tickets at the agency were given to men with the aim of building a more equal workplace through raising awareness of gender issues.

Jeff Cruz has dedicated significant time to solving recruitment, retention and career development issues by connecting in-person with CCS, AdCraft and Michigan State University students to advance efforts to increase the number of diverse students entering advertising and by elevating MRM’s presence at AdEx, portfolio reviews and senior presentations. As part of his participation in IPG Timebank, Jeff

conducted informal, informational interviews with diverse people from both inside and outside the company, and gathered their perspectives on what MRM, and the industry at large, can do differently to make an impact in the D&I space. After two years as the Chairman of the Adcraft Detroit D Show, Jeff selected and elected his successor, who became the first-ever Chairwoman.

Jeff also led pro bono efforts for Sikhya and the Judson Center. Sikhya is an organization that helps empower girls through education and mentorship in India. As a result of MRM’s efforts, Sikhya has seen significant improvement in engagement with their fundraising efforts, acquiring over 400 advocates for their efforts on Facebook and tripling their funds. The Judson Center is a local Detroit organization that offers family services in the areas of autism, mental health services, foster and adoption and disability services. Jeff and his team created a unique event and social media handle that provided the foundation with a platform to build a fundraising event. In 2017, attendance was up 23% and sponsorship revenue was up 11% versus 2016.

RESULTS

At MRM//McCann Detroit, two out of three Group Creative Directors are women, two out of three Creative Directors are women and over 50% of the agency’s Associate Creative Directors are women. As a result, over 50% of creative leadership at MRM//McCann Detroit are women. Through Jeff’s efforts in pro bono work, Sikhya has seen significant improvement in engagement with their fundraising efforts, acquiring

over 400 advocates for their efforts on Facebook and tripling their funds. Judson Center saw a 23% increase in attendance and an 11% increase in sponsorship revenue in 2017.

INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP AWARD

EMIL HILL Senior Vice President

Weber Shandwick

Emil Hill, Senior Vice President at Powell Tate (the Washington, DC office of Weber Shandwick) has counseled a number of clients on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) communications strategies, including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a leading organization working to advance racial equality in America, and the City of Charlottesville during the riots/protests of August 2017. He continued his counsel in the aftermath of the tragic events of that day and the far-reaching effects within the community.

Emil helped develop Weber Shandwick’s DEI offering to combine strategic communications expertise with a deep understanding of the DEI landscape, including key constituencies and issues, as well as barriers and opportunities for engagement.

Emil serves as senior counsel to Weber Shandwick’s DEI Committee. By leveraging his personal connections to diversity-related organizations and leaders, Emil has helped the committee champion several inclusivity conversations, panels and charitable events. The committee hosted editors from ESPN’s The Undefeated to speak

on diversity, politics and sports; a discussion with LGBTQ advocates on the fight to win marriage equality; and journalists to discuss Islamophobia in the media. Finally, Emil organized the office’s participation in Project GiveBack, a local initiative to deliver meals to local, lower-income families during Thanksgiving.

Emil’s commitment to advancing diversity goes far beyond the workplace. Currently, he is a member of the National Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Club, the Boys & Girls Club of America’s Youth of Year Selection Committee, the National Board of Directors of the National Medical Fellowship, an advisory board member of George Washington University’s Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute and a regular speaker at Howard University’s School of Communications.

RESULTS

Emil’s leadership in diversity has translated to significant, positive results both within the Weber Shandwick network and to clients he counsels. For the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation process (TRHT), Emil helped develop the TRHT Framework and Implementation Guidebook to assist communities engaging in the difficult, yet transformational work of racial healing in their communities. Since then, over 144 national partners have committed to TRHT. Under Emil’s leadership, the team participated and presented in the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Summit, which brought 550 leaders together to discuss and begin creating plans for action.

For the City of Charlottesville,

Emil worked side-by-side with the Mayor and City Council in preparing for and managing national media interest around the white nationalist torch march and rally to protest the planned removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee and name changes to city parks. As the city was inundated by protestors, counter-protestors and media from around the country, Emil worked in shaping messaging before, during and after the protest, coordinating press conferences and national press for Mayor Mike Signer’s interviews with Meet the Press, Face the Nation, PBS NewsHour, State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Morning Joe, and The Rachel Maddow Show.

Weber Shandwick’s DEI offering successfully supported the launch of Adobe’s first diversity report, which secured coverage in notable technology publications such as Adweek and B&T. Emil elevated the firm’s thought leadership in diversity through the Social Impact practice’s “Purpose Decoded” page. Emil’s piece received the highest engagement of any of the firm’s content in 2017, with 865 views, 434 reads and a 50% read ratio. In 2018, Emil’s piece on the impact of the movie Black Panther has also received the highest engagement of the site’s content this year.

With Emil’s guidance, the DEI Committee is now actively involved in recruitment efforts, such as attending career fairs at Howard University, incorporating a DEI-focused project for interns seeking employment and coordinating with Human Resources to begin the development of a diversity toolkit for hiring.

AGENCY INCLUSION VANGUARD AWARD

CARMICHAEL LYNCH

Carmichael Lynch’s Diversity and Inclusion Action League (DIAL) comprises 33% of the agency employees. The organization coordinates multiple subcommittees and initiatives aimed at nurturing the creativity of their employees and providing a work environment that is open to new ideas and encourages bravery and new ways of thinking. Employee groups such

as Blaze (women’s leadership group), CLOUT (LGBTQ+ group) and Mosaic (People of Color group) host programs including bimonthly discussions on gender parity in the workforce, educational programs to help create and nurture a culture of inclusion in the workplace and strategic partnerships with organizations such as The BrandLab, Penumbra and Art Buddies that are aligned with the groups’ missions.

Additionally, Carmichael Lynch supports working parents through numerous initiatives including a generous paternity leave program, phased return for mothers, a “Coffee with an Experienced Mom” buddy system and a CL Parents’ Group that meets regularly to discuss various parenting topics and hosts kid-friendly outings such as visits to the zoo and an apple orchard. The agency also has two mothers’ rooms equipped with hospital-grade pumps, mini-fridges, desks and snacks. For mothers who travel for work, the agency offers the Milk Stork program which ships breastmilk back to their home.

Additionally, Carmichael Lynch rolled out extensive unconscious bias training for their entire staff, presented by neuroscientist Dr. Sarah Bridges and the agency’s Chief Creative Officer. CL encouraged staff to take the Harvard Implicit Association Test to learn about their own bias. Carmichael Lynch also rolled out a hiring managers interview guide that includes a blind resume process that removes names, addresses and other identifying information from prospective employee’s resumes.

RESULTS

The agency’s retention numbers are at an all-time high, well above the industry average. Carmichael Lynch won best places to work awards from Outside magazine and the Star Tribune for the eighth year in a row. The agency won DigiDay Worklife Awards for Most Committed to Diversity and Inclusion and Most Innovative Culture. They were honored as an Outstanding Company for Working Moms by She Runs It, as well as Most Inclusive Climate by the IPG Inclusion Awards. Carmichael Lynch’s PR agency was honored with the Best PR Firm Diversity Initiative by the PR Council for the Diversity and Inclusion Action League (DIAL) Committee.

In a city where the average employee rate of People of Color in marketing is 6%, Carmichael Lynch has an overall rate of 12%, and People of Color make up 11% of their management and leadership. Women make up over 63% of the agency and 64% of management and leadership.

In eight years, the agency’s DIAL Committee has grown from six to 88 employees (over a third of the entire agency) and has built itself into the DNA of the agency’s culture. Carmichael Lynch sponsored, in time and money, over $450,000 dollars toward their D&I efforts in 2017 alone.

Overall agency participation in various D&I events/training has grown to almost 90% and has stayed at this level for past four years.

In the last five years, less than 5% of first-time parents have decided not to return to the agency, and in 2017, Carmichael Lynch’s overall turnover rate was only 7.7%.

W. KAMAU BELLHost, United Shades of America, CNN

W. Kamau Bell is a sociopolitical comedian who is the host and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning CNN docu-series United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell. He recently made his Netflix debut with a new stand-up comedy special, Private School Negro. Kamau has a book with the easy-to-remember title, The Awkward

Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell: Tales of a 6’ 4, African American, Heterosexual, Cisgender, Left-Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama’s Boy, Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian. Kamau has hosted three critically acclaimed podcasts: “Kamau Right Now!,” “Politically Re-Active” and “Denzel Washington is The Greatest Actor of All Time Period.” Kamau is on

the advisory board of Hollaback! and Donors Choose and is the ACLU Celebrity Ambassador for Racial Justice. The New York Times called Kamau “the most promising new talent in political comedy in many years.”

Kamau has been nominated for multiple NAACP Image Awards and a GLAAD award, and he was featured on Conde Nast’s “Daring 25” list for 2016. The SF Weekly called Kamau “smart, stylish, and very much in the mold of politically outspoken comedians like Dave Chappelle,” though he was mostly just excited that they called him “handsome.” The New Yorker said, “Bell’s gimmick is intersectional progressivism: he treats racial, gay, and women’s issues as inseparable.” Kamau is also known for his criminally short-lived FX & FXX comedy series, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.

Kamau still finds time to travel to college campuses around the country, performing his one man show that inspired Totally Biased, The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour. Kamau’s writing has been featured in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Hollywood Reporter, CNN.com, Salon, The LA Review of Books and The Establishment. (One time, on his website, Kamau wrote about getting kicked out of The Elmwood Cafe in Berkeley on his birthday because they thought he was harassing his wife. Listen to his appearance on This American Life for all the details.) Kamau’s debut as a director will happen this fall with the release of the A+E documentary Culture Shock: Chris Rock’s Bring The Pain.
