Igniting Racial Equity: Repairing Collaboration in Creative Agencies
Agencies are facing uncertain financial futures against the backdrop of COVID19. And as awareness of social injustice has reached a boiling point, agencies are reckoning with longstanding issues of racial inequity and lax accountability alongside the clients they service.
The creative collaboration at the heart of agencies allows them to play a unique, persuasive role in the prosperity of brands today. So how must we use this moment to forge a more radically equitable, human, and potent mode of collaboration?
In this panel, Aaron Powers, Director of Strategy at Sylvain Labs will lead this honest and constructive conversation with industry executives Jayelle Dorsainville, Brendon Henderson and Jamira Burley. They’ll share their takes on what racially equitable collaboration in these settings really means (and where it’s fallen short). And finally, they’ll discuss the changes you can make today to ensure you’re adapting in ways that are authentic, meaningful, and tangible.
