For a long time, New York’s bustling Madison Avenue has been synonymous with the world of advertising that we know today. But the landscape is changing thanks to marketing visionaries across the nation who are working diligently to cultivate a more inclusive industry.
Join Adweek’s creative and inclusion editor, Shannon Miller, as she journeys off of Madison Ave. to learn the stories of the industry disruptors who are redefining advertising and putting DEI on the map.
In the inaugural episode of Off Madison, Shannon learns more about the history and current state of Madison Ave. from her former Yeah, That’s Probably an Ad co-host, David Griner. She then travels to Cannes to sit down with Walter T Geer III, chief experience design officer at VMLY&R to discuss the realities of Madison Ave. and the importance of that visibility for marginalized ad hopefuls. The final guest this week is Davita Galloway, co-owner of Hue House, a Black-owned, full-service creative agency out of Charlotte, N.C. Galloway is the first of many changemakers we will be spotlighting throughout the podcast who are making an impact within the industry.
