Series 3, Episode 12: Achieving diverse and authentic representations through your advertising and marketing, with Mark Runacus MBE Artwork

reWorked: the Workplace Inclusion Podcast

A seismic shift has taken place in the world of work. Workplace culture continues to adapt and respond – as it always has done – to the wider world. Covid turned our working lives upside down; Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement challenged and changed our expectations of what a responsible and inclusive business looks and feels like. Society, culture and work now overlap in ways we have not seen before. The reWorked podcast provides a space to explore how business can respond to this complex, and sometimes contested, landscape. We speak to leading thinkers and doers about their ideas for what an inclusive workplace looks like in 2023. Listen below and on all your usual podcast platforms.

Outvertising is a not-for-profit advertising and marketing advocacy group that collaborates with brands to push for increased and more diverse LGBT+ representations in ads and on our screens. Outvertising’s Chair, Mark Runacus MBE, joins Mitch to discuss how organisations can become more inclusive in their messaging, and the positive impact this has on society and in business.

Mark has more than thirty years of experience working in advertising. More recently, he was awarded an MBE for his services to the industry and became the Chair this growing group that fights for better LGBT+ coverage in things we consume daily: from ads to TV.

In this episode, you’ll learn what steps you can take to create diverse and inclusive representations, why this is so very important, and how it plays a large part in employees feeling able to bring their whole selves to work.
