It’s no secret that the ad world has its share of diversity and inclusion problems. Among them is ageism – an issue that can negatively affect mid-career marketing and advertising folk.
To tackle the challenge, industry non-profit NABS created the Ripe Workshop, an intensive, two-day program aimed at helping people over 45 who have lost their jobs figure out “what’s next?”
As it gears up for the next workshop, the organization created a series of online videos featuring real people who have been affected by a job loss mid-career. Industry professionals describe their feelings of shame and embarrassment at being let go before outlining what Ripe has done for them and how the program has changed their outlooks.
