Last month, Ad Age gathered veteran and rising creative leaders for our "Future of Creativity" event, in which we explored how the industry can move forward in the face of the ongoing pandemic and racial unrest around the world. For good reason, many of the conversations gravitated toward how the industry can truly tackle social inequity and systemic racism in its own ranks, having seen little in the way of real progress despite years of efforts and initiatives.
Ad Age's Creativity editors went face-to-face with talents from organizations and agencies including Saturday Morning, Working Not Working, McCann Worldwide, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, McCann Cashmere, Droga5, Wieden+Kennedy, GSD&M, Adam&Eve DDB, Prettybird, Time's Up and more to explore diversity and equity in creative departments, the C-suite and the director's chair. Read and watch key excerpts from some of the talks below and see the full Future of Creativity sessions here.
