What does it take to truly see the people and stories that have too often gone unnoticed?
In this episode of Agency for Change, Lyn Wineman welcomes Mark Robinson, marketing leader and author of Black on Madison Avenue, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about power, opportunity, and identity in the advertising industry.
Drawing on more than four decades of experience at some of the world’s most influential agencies, Mark shares how his career began, the barriers he encountered, and why diversity efforts in advertising have historically fallen short. He explores the idea of invisibility in the workplace, the innovation born out of necessity in multicultural marketing, and what real progress requires from today’s leaders.
You'll hear powerful stories from Mark’s journey, insights on how organizations can move beyond comfort and familiarity, and a reminder that meaningful change starts with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to do things differently.
