Best Jobs Ever: Recruiting and Retaining the Next Generation of Talent (11:30-12:30pm)
The marketing and advertising industry invests millions of dollars recruiting students to join our respective organizations. However, there is no consistent message about how dynamic, innovative, creative, and analytical the industry is and the kinds of roles where we need incredible talent. Hear how the ANA, McCann, American Express, and WayUp joined forces to build a unified campaign to market marketing to the next generation of talent and to enfranchise everyone in the industry to join this Best Jobs Ever campaign

Diversity Runs Deep (1-2pm)
McCann Worldgroup has released a timely and thought-provoking study called The Truth About Diversity which highlights key attitudinal shifts and ingrained bias that impact brands navigating today’s multicultural consumer marketplace.  The study also details  perceptions about diversity that influence employment decisions being made by current and prospective talent - another critical factor for brands as scarcity of talent continues to increase.  This session will explore this important consumer study and how the insights were leveraged to drive a game-changing global activation McCann Worldgroup launched, internally, to shift mindsets about diversity and increase inclusive behaviors across the network.
 
Speaker: Singleton Beato, Chief Diversity & Engagement Officer
Speaker: India Wooldridge, SVP, McCann Truth Central
 
Workshop: My Voice Matters (2-4pm)
