The A Pledge, an alliance advocating for a more diverse and inclusive workforce within the advertising and marketing industry, appoints two industry trailblazers, Adam Harrell, Co-Founder of Nebo, and Katie Kern, Partner, Media Frenzy Global, as Board Chair and Board Vice-Chair, respectively, for 2022. 

With a commitment to matching the diversity of the city of Atlanta by 2023, the organization seeks to reach, recruit and retain a diverse workforce by making the marketing and advertising industry more inclusive.

Jeff Hilimire, Co-Founder of The A Pledge, created the organization to focus on strategically collaborating with agencies, brands and partners that healthily align with their root mission and actively create a focused push towards racial equity. 

“At the core of every great organization lives a strong leadership team”, says Kimberly Strong, Co-Founder & Executive Director of The A Pledge. “Harrell stands for advancing local communities, beginning with growing and strengthening the diverse networks that exist in these spaces.” 

“Kern’s expertise and passion for fostering a strong sense of diversity and inclusion within the industry give us confidence that we remain strong in our mission to create inclusive opportunities for all professionals,” Hillimire adds.
