Addressing a ‘gender bias problem ‘
“As a global nonprofit organization, we have a long-standing commitment to giving back to the industry and providing programs that help improve the industry’s diversity and gender equality,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club, who will also speak at the summit. “The ad industry has a gender bias problem, and institutional change will happen only when it comes from management. We’re starting Right The Ratio to stimulate dialogue among agency leaders and make that change happen.”
