CANNES, France—The need for a more diverse ad industry is a key theme at each Cannes Lions festival, and when it comes to making actual headway, agency recruiters are often on the front lines.

So we caught up with Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam recruiter Sophie Worth, a champion of diversity in all its forms, from ethnicity and gender to age and background.

It’s a mission made even more challenging by privacy laws in The Netherlands that prevent managers like Worth from tracking or even asking about factors like race.
