OVERVIEW & INTRODUCTIONS (11:00-11:10am)

DIVERSITY BENCHMARK FOR THE ADVERTISING/MARKETING INDUSTRY (11:10-11:40am)
Every year since 2018, ANA has been benchmarking the gender and ethnic diversity among its members. The 2022 report, issued in November, reveals that representation of women in the industry overall and in leadership positions continues to be strong. Further, there has been an increase in the ethnic diversity of the marketing teams of ANA member companies — the most significant growth of ethnic diversity in the five-year history of this report! This session will take you though the details.

Speaker:
Bill Duggan, Group EVP, ANA

CITI CASE STUDY: FOR THE LOVE OF PROGRESS (11:40am-12:20pm)
Citi will discuss initiatives they have taken to improve diversity within its marketing department – from pay equity to new aspirational representation goals to diverse candidate slates and interview panels to their decades-long engagement with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Speaker:
Nikki Darden, Managing Director, Head, Global Marketing Integration & DEI Brand Strategy, Citi
