THE GROWTH OF SUPPLIER DIVERSITY (11:45AM - 12:15PM ET)
The importance of supplier diversity for marketing and advertising has increased for almost 90 percent of marketers over the past year, according to a new ANA survey. Procurement has a significant role in managing supplier diversity for many organizations. This session will share survey results including: the specific diverse segments marketers are supporting; metrics used to assess progress; benefits; and challenges.  We’ll discuss ways companies can enhance their existing supplier diversity initiatives as well as ideas to help companies launch new programs.
