Is the advertising industry coming out?
Outvertising is hosting a round table to drive awareness of Coming Out Day 2020.
We would think the advertising and marketing industries are one of the most diverse out there, but the reality is that a lot of people still live in the closet for fear of their sexuality changing the way they’re treated at work and affecting their career prospects. We also know approximately 38% of graduates joining our industry go back in the closet at their first jobs because they don't feel safe to be freely out in their workplace.
It feels like something’s not quite right here.
This event is bringing together LGBTQ+ industry leaders and allies for them to share their coming out experiences as well as getting insights about how organisations can do better to drive inclusion and safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community.
