What’s wrong with Warren’s title? DDB named Minerva Garcia as Chief Diversity Officer in November. Omnicom created a Diversity Development Advisory Committee in 2007. Ironically, Omnicom agencies recorded the worst results among the Madison Avenue shops working with New York City’s Commission on Human Rights. At one point, an Omnicom representative claimed John Wren demanded his agencies come to compliance by the end of 2008. Never heard anyone claiming success. Warren has a tough road ahead.
Chief Diversity Officer. Elegant and suscinct.
Currently, both Carat and PHD have planners with Diversity in their titles.
At Carat the title is: Communication Planner - Multicultural/Diversity. Multicultural Media Advisor is another old-school title still employed at a few MAD Ave factories.
Media Planner - Diversity is PHD in LA preferred title covering this important group.
Currently, just under 500 Brands employ specific agencies in addition to their main planning agencies for various niches embraced by diversity.
Around 300 Brands have someone in marketing with a distinctive "diversity" element revealed in their title.
Thanks for an interesting post.
Personnaly, I prefer titles that allow easy acronymic constuctions. Chief Diversity Officer rocks!
There is an abundance of CDO candidates with exemliary qualifications awaiting an invite.
Any agency that does not satisfy the legal requirements should find heads rolling soon.
The time is ripe for employing a pro-active strategic and tactical HR/Change Management Consultancy.
