Diversity and Inclusion in Marketing in 2021: Has anything really changed?

Are the top CEOs really just the same three guys swapping jobs and swapping clothes, as is my theory? I mean, it's not far off. 

In 2019, FTSE 100 had more CEOs called Steve, than there were CEOs from ethnic minorities.

 Has anything changed since then, especially in marketing? With such a booming and changing industry, you would expect the people to change too.

Marketing is so customer-focused, so people-focused. So why not extent this to the other side of the curtain, so to speak? 

So as the industry's methods and technology progress, its social impact can't fall behind. 

  Diversity isn’t a nicety, it’s a necessity. Inclusion is an inescapable and necessary consequence of a global economy; it’s becoming impossible for companies to flourish without diverse organisations that reflect their consumer base.  "
