It was great to lead the Route team in this discussion yesterday covering the importance of representation for all groups in advertising and the value that this thinking gives to business. Some really good debate about the importance of language and context in society, and also in activation when considering things like key word strategy through to linear TV ad placement. Really important topics that are the backbone of planning on a daily basis.
In celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month, we’re reflecting on the importance of representation. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ This week, as part of our ongoing Diversity, Equality and Inclusion training, we discussed representation in advertising, and the value of context when engaging with LGBTQ+ audiences. Here at Route, we are committed to creating a workplace in which everyone feels respected, valued, and included. LGBTQ+ History Month represents an important opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes our society great. As well as remembering the progress that has been made, it’s important to acknowledge the challenges that we still need to overcome as a society, as we strive to create an inclusive and accepting world. #LGBTQ+ #LGBTQHistoryMonth #Diversity #Inclusion #Representation #Advertising #DigitalMarketing

Dear business leaders, As we approach LGBTQ+ Pride Month, it's important to remember that meaningful support is more than just posting rainbows and making press statements. We must take tangible actions to support our LGBTQ+ employees and create a safe, authentic work environment. Marching in a parade is fun, but there is hard work to he done. This means implementing policies that protect and support LGBTQ+ individuals, and actively working against politicians and policies that do not prioritize LGBTQ+ rights. Allyship is hard work, but it is necessary work. Let's make this Pride Month a time of true progress and change. Help create a workplace that is inclusive and supportive of all individuals. #LGBTQ+ #PrideMonth #Allyship #Inclusion #Diversity #Equity

During Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community's resilience, strength, and diversity. It's a time to honor the Stonewall Rebellion, which took place in June 1969, and to recognize the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ equality. Pride Month is also a time to reflect on the progress that has been made. In recent years, we have seen significant advances in LGBTQ+ rights, such as the legalization of same-sex marriage and the increasing visibility of LGBTQ+ people in the media and public life. But there is still much work to be done. LGBTQ+ people continue to face discrimination in many areas of life, including employment, housing, and healthcare. In many parts of the world, LGBTQ+ people are still criminalized and even face violence. Pride Month is a reminder that we must continue to fight for LGBTQ+ equality. We must work to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

🌈 Happy Pride Month 🌈 This month is a celebration of love, acceptance, and the vibrant diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.

Let's commit to these actions not just in June, but every day, to ensure everyone feels valued and respected. #PrideMonth #Pride #LGBTQ #EDI #Inclusivity #Acceptance #LoveIsLove

As Pride Month continues, we reflected on a few of the actions that allies can take to create an environment where every LGBTQ+ employee feels respected and valued, inside and outside of work. * Stay Engaged: Read reputable sources like GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and other advocacy organizations that allow you to regularly update your knowledge and stay informed about evolving language and social contexts. * Create Your Environment: Advocate for inclusive policies such as gender-neutral facilities and non-discrimination clauses. Further, promote LGBTQ+ role models and events within organizations, to celebrate diversity and inspire others to embrace inclusive practices. * Build Meaningful Connections: Build relationships by creating a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences without fear of judgment. Further, show up at their events. This demonstrates solidarity and reinforces commitment to standing with their community. * Advocacy and Personal Growth: The role of allies can extend beyond personal and professional interactions. For example, it is important to stay informed about legislative changes and actively support pro-LGBTQ+ initiatives. While these actions may be simple, they all contribute to creating a world where diversity is celebrated and everyone can live authentically.
