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.
