BRAND STORYTELLING DIVERSITY IMPERATIVE:

Participants access certification courses, respond to RFPs and attend job fairs/recruiting workshops.

This “Diversity Imperative” has been launched to help support the career track of under-represented individuals desiring a fair chance to participate in all aspects of brand storytelling. From directors to videographers to editors and producers and all roles in between, this imperative will strive to balance the workforce so that the stories brands tell are created by individuals that fairly represent our societal and cultural makeup.

The Brand Storytelling team is dedicated to the success of this imperative. As caretakers of this community, we have a responsibility to ensure that all individuals have equal and fair access to career opportunities within our industry. We have a unique opportunity to affect hundreds of individual careers in just a few short years and contribute towards leveling the imbalance that currently exists within the workforce. We know we can make a difference. Ignoring the opportunity would be contributing to the problem.

As Dr. King said, “It’s always the right time to do the right thing.”
