We all know that advertising can make a powerful difference when it comes to representation. Brands and creators alike have the opportunity to make a real impact by bringing underrepresented communities to the forefront. But what about representation in the workplace?

In this session, you will hear from Partner & Chief Operating Officer of independent creative agency Mekanism, Mike Zlatoper; Mekanism Director of Talent, Amanda Speer; and Director of Creator Force, Chris Wade, as they discuss the subtleties often overlooked in creating an inclusive workplace - and more importantly how to sustain social equity long term.
