Ad Speaks Houston: A Podcast by the American Advertising Foundation - Houston Chapter

Sure, there is the advertising connection, but what paves the foundation for a Mosaic award winner goes much deeper than the message.  All of the award winners share the same passion for a greater understanding of the importance of diversity and inclusion from the eyes and ears they reach through advertising and marketing, to the culture within each agency.  These are great stories of why it's so important to address and promote this aspect of our industry.  Enjoy the conversations and if you can, be a part of the awards celebration coming up on April 17th at AdVention in Oklahoma City.  Find out more at www.aaf10.org.
