As the youngest employee, he quickly identified the antiquated&nbsp;<a href="https://www.adweek.com/agencies/work-is-not-everything-new-generation-marketers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">norms in the workplace</a>&nbsp;(see: bragging wars over long hours) and, as any good Gen Z-er, used the experience as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.adweek.com/media/linkedin-makes-its-case-for-a-permanent-spot-in-social-strategy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">inspiration for TikTok content</a>&nbsp;as a creative outlet to deal with this new chapter.

Over the past year, the ad industry has witnessed a deprioritizing of DEI initiatives through a series of events:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/cmos-have-lost-focus-on-dei-initiatives-medialink-report-finds/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CMOs are back</a>&nbsp;to focusing on hard hitting business goals,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/brands-scared-lgbtq-marketing-backlash/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">brands are hesitant</a>&nbsp;to use LGBTQ+ marketing and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.adweek.com/agencies/three-years-post-pandemic-women-still-havent-returned-to-the-marketing-industry/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the data shows</a>&nbsp;women makeup 37% of industry employees, still down from 50% before the pandemic. However, there’s another way to create a more inclusive world and it involves the creatives. Enter: Design justice, a practice which rethinks design processes and focuses on people who are often marginalized by them. This approach calls for collaborative and creative practices to approach the deeper challenges these communities face. On the latest episode of Yeah, That’s Probably An Ad, community editor Luz Corona and Europe brand editor Rebecca Stewart sit down with Karen Baker from Boathouse, giving us the 101 on design justice, examples of the concept in action, and why marketers should feel inspired by Lego and Netflix. <a href="https://event.adweek.com/social-media-week-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join us virtually at Social Media Week!</a>
