Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
FCB considers DE&I to be a critical part of both the work and the culture. As a long ally to the community of people living with disabilities and part-time political advocate, I’m grateful to have been a part of creating a more inclusive workspace and supporting communities in need.
Disability Forward
After identifying a few non-inclusive issues with popular ads at a community event, I was asked to join Disability Forward. I was the creative lead on a recruitment video that celebrated the lives of people living with disabilities in the workplace, spread awareness by placing life-size popups of celebrities living with disabilities around the office, collaborated with an artist to create a piece of interactive artwork, and multiple agency-wide posts to get more people involved.
Community
Part of the DE&I initiative at FCB is to be a part of the local community whether through advertising, fundraising, or volunteering. In my time here I’ve had the opportunity to help support local Ukrainian businesses during the war, raise money for Off the Street Club during the holidays, and worked with the Chicago Public Library to help more Chicago Public School students gain access to the library.
