Belonging and Community

Empowering Every Voice, Breaking Every Barrier

We’re proud to be part of one of the world’s most inclusive/intersectional/representational communities. Founded in New York City, where over 800 languages are spoken daily, we understand that effective communication goes beyond words—it requires a deep appreciation of the cultural and demographic nuances that shape our communities. Representation from people from all walks of life is at the heart of this understanding.

In 2020, we committed to building a team and business that truly reflects the world we live in and actively provide opportunities to all people in our community. We’ve made meaningful strides, but we recognize that this journey is ongoing, and we recommit every day to making decisions grounded in belonging and opportunity.

The DMC™

Launched in July 2020 to provide pro bono marketing support to underserved individuals and startups, the DMC has expanded both its portfolio of agencies and its total amount of investment.  Aiming to deliver $3M in services to underserved entrepreneurs and rising leaders, our intention is to ensure that boardrooms of the near future more closely represent the world in which we live.

Inclusive Opportunities:

Over the past year, we have taken intentional steps to broaden our outreach and build relationships. 

LGBTIQ+

We’re committed to building a working environment that allows everyone to be their whole, authentic selves to their work.  Working with LGBTQ+ organizations such as SCRUFF has given our team a better perspective on intersectionality and inclusion.  We strive to support the Community at large while creating a supportive working environment in which individuals can thrive.

We are fortunate to live and work in one of the world’s most multicultural and diverse communities.  Founded in New York City where more than 800 different languages are spoken every day, we know that good communication is about more than knowing the words.  The motivations, cultural diversity and demographic nuances necessary for effective communications come from a true understanding of the communities we work among.  And representation is key to that understanding.

In 2020 we committed to being more intentional about building a team and a commercial entity that was both more reflective of the world we live in, and more financially engaged with the community we work in.

We’ve made good progress over the past year but this is a work in progress and we recommit daily to making decisions based on representation and access.
