Reputation consultant fast for Diversity in pr and advertisement

Mike Paul, the self-styled “ Reputation
Doctor,” would like to see more diversity
at the executive level of PR and
advertising firms.
To that end, Paul plans to refrain from
eating anything from Wednesday
morning to Friday morning. Paul
explained his motive in a press release,
appropriately enough:
With my fast, I hope to shine a
light [on] accountability and
transparency in global and
national PR firms, leading
corporations and top advertising
firms to focus on recruiting many
more executives of color and not
just kids. At minimum in the
dozens. The track record for 50
years [is] horrible. FYI - An
executive to me is SVP and above
in PR firms and ad firms and VP
or above in national or global
corporations.
Paul wants PR and advertising firms to
share the current number of executives
of color.
“True change in real numbers has to
come and come soon,” he says.

Strategies and Burson-Marsteller.
