Episode notes

The 'Black Lives Matter' movement has brought the issue of diversity and inclusion to the forefront of many conversations.

Business, big and small, are starting to consider how Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) should impact their workforce.

In this episode of The Agency Accelerator Podcast, I'm excited to have Chico Chakravorty, D&I consultant and Founder of Doing Diversity Differently.

In this fascinating conversation (where I learned a lot!) we talk about how to approach & integrate D&I in our organisations.

We also explore how we, as agencies, should be advising our clients on D&I in their campaigns, and the importance of doing so authentically. To bring this to life Chico shares some real-life examples (both good and bad).
