Do you think creatives can do better to support the under-represented? If so, you’re not alone. And you can vote today to bring that exact discussion to SXSW 2025. There is no area of multicultural marketing, strategy and innovation that isn't being impeded by the industry-wide hush and hesitation around DEI. Yet amid all the concerns about the politicized dynamics, "wokeness" backlash and recessionary budgets, a mountain of data points to the fact that investing in diversity builds the bottom line. So what’s the issue? Our proposed #SXSW panel features speakers LaMecia Butler, MBA, Mack Garrison and Vanessa Gonzales; the discussion would take an honest look at what doesn’t work, so we can determine where to focus innovation and level-up what we considered DEI best practices. So help us bring the discussion to SXSW— as community voting opens today! Vote here: https://lnkd.in/g9em6GhS Anyone can sign up for a SXSW ID account and vote for sessions they find interesting. Public voting runs through August 18th and plays a crucial role in determining 2025 programming. Help us elevate discussion and explore the unexplored – addressing blind spots at all levels of creative industry to find tomorrow's answers.

A happy crowd finishing of the third and last day of TheWeek on this Friday afternoon. A brilliant way to kick of the weekend! Thank you so much to my wonderful colleges Ida-Marie Ronby Olsen, Valeria Guerrieri Fussinger, John Byrd and Erik Simon Vuoritie for joining TheWeek, it has been a pleasure to have the conversations with you and inspiring to hear your ideas and thoughts. I feel inspired and grateful for TheWeek because it makes LessTalkMoreAction fun and engaging instead of a dreadful, boring task. Furthermore, TheWeek points out how most change in society has usually come from "bottom-up", so from actions made by individuals like you and me. Just take the examples of the revolution taking down the king to get democracy, how women got voting rights, and how the civil rights movement in the US could take place. Back in the day, democracy, voting rights for both women and men and civil rights to all seemed completely unrealistic. These historic events were all made possible due to normal folks like you and me who rolled up their sleeves and started taking action instead of just talking. They didn't sit around passively and waiting for somebody else to do it for them. This is truly uplifting because all these historic events are good examples that change can happen rapidly within years and change up our entire society, and that it matters to act. Also as an individual. And I for sure do know, that I want to push forward the green transition by being as loud, engaging and vocal about it as possible. And I for sure want to hear your takes on things as well. Therefore I am already gonna kick of a new TheWeek ... This Sunday! Do you want to join, or do you know someone who would like to join? Then please write me a comment here below or a message. The three conversations will be online on Teams: Day 1: This Sunday, 26th of May at 14:00-14:45.
