Overview

“MAIP is incredibly important to our ability to find and hire talent, in part because we have so many MAIP veterans...and because of MAIP's terrific outreach program on campus. We need more talent like MAIP is bringing into the industry. It will make us better, it'll make our clients better, and it'll make the work better. I think MAIP is going to become more and more important.”

Tony Weisman, CEO, DigitasLBi North America

On Thursday, March 9, join MAIP and the Atlanta advertising community for the inaugural #MAIPgreenhouse, a portfolio review, panel discussion, and networking mixer exclusively for multicultural creative talent and the companies that want to hire them.

Focused on engaging diverse creative talent, senior and executive-level creatives will have an opportunity to review portfolios from top students at colleges and universities in metro Atlanta. Attendees will also learn from senior thought-leaders in and outside of the industry on innovative best practices as it relates to hiring and retaining diverse creative talent.
