DE&I

We’re committed to shaking up the industry in diversity, equality, and inclusion.

We launched JOLT, the first inter-agency diversity internship scheme, to help talented individuals from all backgrounds break into advertising and secure full-time paid roles.

DE&I is a core part of our recruitment beliefs, and we’re driven to help companies become more diverse at all levels. Bringing together different perspectives makes work more innovative, more engaging, more representative and ultimately better.
