When it comes to diversity and inclusion, the creative marketing industry has been stuck in a vicious cycle.
Our industry is nothing like the people we communicate to and we haven’t historically done the hard work to open the doors and enable diverse cultures. As a result, we constantly find ourselves lacking diverse talent.
In many ways, more inclusive thinking is key to the future existence of our industry. The need for our industry to remain competitive demands that we look outside of our ‘circle’.
PlusPlusOne is founded by diverse industry leaders who have lived through this cycle. Having learned how not to do it, we are now on a mission to create new industry best practices for recruiting, training and developing a more diverse workforce for the next generation.
We welcome all kinds of talent and companies to join us in this mission.
We are allies to under-represented candidates. Building trust, we want to create a strong community where everyone can feel safe to learn and explore their creative career path.
There is power in numbers. Inclusive cultures can not be built in isolation. We welcome industry-wide collaboration and sharing of knowledge.
We want to build and nurture an inclusive culture where under represented candidates feel welcome and are able to thrive.
We believe we can change the future of our industry for the better by developing a new value exchange between the industry and under-represented communities.
