This is Daryl Parson. He is a longtime member of the Hearst Charlotte DEI Committee. He is a most dependable team member who's always willing to lend a hand and support the overall goal. But, his best attribute is his ability to step outside of his comfort zone and try new things. This year Daryl successfully moderated our discussion panel during Pride Month and hosted the first Hearst Guys' Gathering in August. Though he said this wasn't his usual skill set, there was no evidence in his performance to support that claim 😊 We can't wait to see what he does next! 𝟭. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼?

When developing marketing strategies for the Hispanic audiences, it's important to avoid relying on superficial tactics like Latino Coating. This approach involves incorporating Latino elements into campaigns without a genuine understanding or appreciation for the culture, ultimately coming off as insincere and ineffective. It's crucial to prioritize authenticity and meaningful engagement with Hispanics rather than just ticking off boxes during Hispanic Heritage Month.#stoplatinocoating #multiculturalmarketing #Hispanics #Latino
Today, HMC launched a bold campaign calling on CMOs to prioritize the Hispanic market or kiss their careers goodbye--#STOPLATINOCOATING. . What is Latino Coating? It's a superficial marketing approach coating products, campaigns, media or entertainment with Latino elements for the appearance of diversity without genuine understanding or respecting Latino culture. It's a barely-there approach, a box to check--it's activating during Hispanic Heritage Month and patting yourself on the back. . Join our movement! Visit stoplatinocoating.com. . Huge thanks to MEL, Creyentes and Casanova//McCann & the entire HMC board. To read the press release: https://bit.ly/4cQm4qt

Activist/Speaker/ MEFA Changemaker 23/ADweek Future is Female 22/ Media Leader 22 /Campaign 21 Female Frontiers & 'Trailblazer' 2020/ BIMA 2020 Champion / AD Age 2020 'Woman to watch in Europe' **Open to NED roles**
Great article by Yasmin Arrigo on the deprioritisation of #DEI in #ADland - please read and share! At Brixton Finishing School we've experienced this in the last 12 months, alongside many other #changemaking organisations, a #stealth defunding of commitments to #DEI leaving us with a budget deficit last year. We took this #crisis as an opportunity to reflect, reframe and recommit to our mission - to create fair, accessible industry access for all talents and to then support them to thrive, not survive when they arrive. Thank you to all who advocated for us - we really value and appreciate your efforts! #2024 is our year of serenity and we will not deviate from our mission - we will gracefully keep, keeping on, driving change. Talent is distrubuted equally but opportunities are not. To supercharge change long term commitment to impactful change making projects is needed. It’s vital that the industry leans in and support our (and other organisations) efforts. MEFA CEO, Naren Patel, decided to launch the Media For All [MEFA] awards when a recent survey indicated that businesses were experiencing “DEI fatigue” ; they were under so much pressure that diversity and inclusion were taking a back seat. #DEI departments have been disbanded at #tech companies (Source: WordinBlack.com) And by December 2023 open calls for divestment were heard - with Elon Musk declaring on X ‘DEI must Die’. Dear Industry, your busy day job is serving your clients and their consumers - our day job is supporting multiple communities with many intersectionalities to win at the world of work. So please, reach out to third party experts who can make authentic inclusion a reality for you - it’s not going to happen if it’s not a future proofed commitment.
Back in 2020, in the wake of George Floyd’s death, black squares began dropping on social media. After the shock came the promises of allyship. Then came the initiatives, in their droves. The advertising industry would change from Shoreditch to the South Bank to the sun-splashed Croisette in Cannes. Hires would be made with a remit to focus on inclusion. Diversity, equity and inclusion (specifically of black, brown and other minority ethnic talent) was, it seemed, finally top of the agenda. But four years on – how much has tangibly changed, and what do the industry stats reveal? For this two-part feature in Campaign magazine, I interviewed more than 50 people, representing those from entry-level years through to industry veterans, to uncover the prevailing sentiment in 2024. Thank you to everyone that shared their experiences so candidly and Campaign UK's Matt Barker and Gemma Charles. Links to both articles are below and in the comments. https://lnkd.in/e3RpPWJD

Back in 2020, many of the more senior briefs we worked on specifically requested people of colour. Our advice then was that this would just be moving the few senior black/brown folk available between agencies. Your agency would be that little bit more diverse but it was a zero-sum game for the industry as a whole. More sustainable change would come from making Adland more open to a wider pool of talent and it is admirable that various schemes were developed to help improve diversity at the bottom of the pyramid. Four years is clearly too soon to see these cohorts in decision-making roles. However, It's disappointing that so many feel that any success seems not to have yet translated to significant opportunities for POCs to even make it to these more senior positions.

Did you know that "Black listeners spend more time with radio than any other group—20 minutes longer than the average of the total population...Buying ads with Black-owned media gives advertisers a chance to partner with companies that hold a unique position and expertise within Black communities and culture. Importantly, Black radio listeners value brand reputation." A quote from Nielsen Report: How Black Audiences are engaging with audio more than ever. Nielsen Diversity, Equity and Inclusion So, if you are trying to establish a trusted brand, reach a loyal and diverse audience, while using a powerful media tool, look no further than the Northern Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce member-only exclusive deal with Urban One, Inc, Inc., in the Washington D.C. area. If you are not an NVBCC member, check us to see how this deal propels your business. #nvbcc #urbanone #radioone #marketing #traditionalmedia #trustedbrand #nielsenreport #DEI #representingblackculture https://lnkd.in/emthbSVX

What do Taylor Swift and NRL in Vegas tells us about comms? 1. Excite your core base with a once in a lifetime opportunity. 2. Build fan loyalty by taking on sacred cows (rugby league will never work in America, what’s the point of re-recording all your albums?) 3. Have something to say and say it regularly through your best channels. 4. Build your audience via both traditional and non traditional channels. 5. In the case of the NRL, leverage your media partnerships to ensure widespread awareness and record ratings, the biggest ever for round 1. 6. In the case of Taylor Swift, produce something of such quality and scarcity (millions register for approx 600K public tickets) that tradition media end up producing live blogs and coverage, knowing that millions are interested. While your company might not be as big as Taylor Swift or the NRL there are some key lessons: 1. Position yourself strongly and have something to say in public of interest to people that gets them talking. 2. Challenge sacred cows and see if you can give the public what they want or something they haven’t thought about. 3. Be relentless in follow up, next steps, planning and execution to make your offering something that goes beyond a game of footy or a concert and becomes an event or information not to be missed. #corporatecommunications #ceo #cmo #brandawareness #mediarelations ********** You can follow Daniel McDougall and get his perspectives from 25 years in the media and communications industry.

Founder and Chairman of Hero Media a 100% Black Owned Media Network and Ad Tech Company, and Hero Collective, the Fastest Growing Black Owned Creative Agency in the World
Is the Mad Men era really over? I wanted to wait until after Cannes to share my thoughts about this article, and quite honestly, I couldn't think of a better day to share my perspective then on July 4th. How is that the most creative people on the planet who undoubtedly continue to shape global pop culture, left out of the most creative industry in the world. Think about it, Black and Brown consumers created rock and roll, hip hop, jazz, rhythm and blues, Hip Hop, DJ'ing, Streetwear, every meaningful move you watch everyday in sports that makes you say, "Wow, Did you see that!" We delight the world with our flavors, cuisines, and our uncanny way of taking what was considered scraps and turn them into the some of the most flavorful dishes on the planet, and that's just the pop cultural contributions. I can talk about all the creative contributions we've made in science, the arts, and academia, but I want you all to get back to your BBQ's. Let's just assume that most people will agree that the world would be drastically different and not as interesting if it was not for our contributions. So the question I have to ask, is how are the most creative people on the planet not winning more awards at Cannes, or not ECD's, or CCO's for big ad agencies or running 100 million dollar creative consultancies that are driving growth for multi billion dollar brands. The answer is simple answer, one that we continue to run away from because it forces us to determine if we are culpable and guilty of being bias and the perpetuaters of prejudice. And by the way, this goes for both Black people as much as it does for White who are in the key positions to create the necessary paradigm shifts. Ultimately, the responsibility will have to happen at the brand level if we want this to change. Brands must open up the aperture on how we are seen and utilized. We are not just talent or an accessory to your typical understanding of what creative talent is or what you need it to be, sound like, look like to make you feel comfortable. Someone recently asked me what makes a good client, and I told them "Courage"! If this industry is going to change we need more of that! Happy Independence Day!! #equality #courage #diversity #inclusivity #creativity #advertising
The ‘Mad Men’ Era Is Long Over. Why Is Advertising Still So White?

Honoring Black History Month: The Vital Importance of African American Audiences in Media Representation The recognition that media conglomerates cannot afford to lose the African American audience delves into more than just an economic concern; it underscores a profound rupture in the fabric of cultural representation, akin to a critical breach in the coronary artery of Black community and culture. During UPN's golden era, with influential shows like "Moesha" and "The Parkers," storytelling wasn't a mere pastime; it was a lifeline for the African American community. Much like a coronary artery serves as a vital channel for blood flow to the heart, these narratives provided a crucial pathway for the flow of cultural experiences, shared histories, and the pulse of identity. Loyalty within the African American demographic isn't transactional; it's a deep, interconnected relationship between storytellers and a community historically underrepresented in mainstream media. Losing this audience is comparable to a rupture in the coronary artery – a disruption in the vital flow of authentic narratives, lived experiences, and cultural richness that sustains the heartbeat of the community. The significance of this audience goes beyond market shares or viewership statistics; it's about maintaining the health of cultural representation. When authentic narratives are absent or distorted, it's like a blockage in the coronary artery, obstructing the flow of diverse perspectives and robbing the cultural landscape of its vibrancy. Black History Month serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of authentic representation – a time to acknowledge that stories, much like the blood flowing through a coronary artery, carry the life force of a community. The rupture in cultural representation isn't just a business oversight; it's a rupture in the vital artery that supplies the cultural heart with the diverse narratives and authentic voices essential for a thriving, inclusive society. As media conglomerates navigate the challenges of the streaming wars, the imperative to preserve and engage the African American audience becomes a responsibility to mend the rupture in the coronary artery of cultural storytelling. It's a call to recognize that loyalty isn't passive consumption but an active engagement in narratives that maintain the health and vitality of a community's cultural heartbeat. Losing the African American audience, akin to a rupture in the coronary artery, is not just a loss of viewership; it's a loss of the nuanced perspectives, dynamic stories, and authentic voices that are the lifeblood of cultural richness. As we honor Black history, media conglomerates are urged to view this loyalty as an opportunity to repair and strengthen the cultural artery, ensuring a robust, diverse, and thriving media landscape that embraces and celebrates the pulse of our shared human experience. #blackhistorymonth #marketing #advertising #africanamerican
