Diversity in Advertising Career Day
April 22, 2009 @ Hilton New York

For advertising agencies, their clients, in-house marketing departments, marketing distribution channels and public relations firms, Diversity in Advertising Career Day (DiACD) will be the best place in New York to: showcase your company’s commitment to diversity; meet the industry’s top diversity talent; and learn how to transfer employee diversity into increased profits.

Organizations representing professionals from many diverse communities that serve the greater metro area, DiACD brings together content and human capital in the advertising industry’s largest career fair.

Industry experts will organize a series of three educational sessions to include practical case studies of how diversity is driving today’s global workforce and how agencies, clients, media companies and public relations firms can benefit financially through improving their diversity hiring practices.

DiACD will help advertising agencies, public relations, clients and distribution channels by assisting them to find and attract qualified diversity candidates to help these companies prosper. The event is also a natural vehicle for companies to demonstrate their partnership with The City of New York to become more diverse employers. This career fair is efficient for employers and employees as many skill sets utilized by corporate marketing communications departments, agencies, media and public relations firms are common and transferable as mid and senior-level professionals move within the industry from one organization to another.

Diversity candidates will be drawn to DiACD to discover how they can employ their skills in any of the many areas that make up the advertising industry and meet with potential employers to help differentiate themselves from on-line applicants.
