Ad Age - Diversity Hiring article
The advertising industry has a longstanding problem of insular hiring practices that perpetuates a lack of diversity. Agencies predominantly hire from other agencies, seeking candidates with existing industry experience, knowledge, and connections. This limits entry points for outsiders and underrepresented groups. While initiatives like internship programs have helped introduce some diversity, awareness of advertising careers remains low. Addressing diversity will require publicizing opportunities to attract a more diverse talent pool and implementing strategies that solve problems both now and for the future.
