RAPP Agency Launches Sponsorship Program for Talent Growth and Development

While months like Black History Month and Women’s History Month are an opportunity to celebrate the progress we have made as a society, they are also an opportunity to take inventory of the additional work we have to do to make the workplace more equitable for all. 

RAPP, the global creative agency within Omnicom, continues to show their commitment to DE&I and nurturing talent with the launch of ‘The Table Makers,’ a sponsorship program that connects junior employees with 'sponsors' (senior folks across the agency) to help them grow and advance their careers. 

With a goal of increasing BIPOC talent retention and developing talent within RAPP and Omnicom, the program offers employees two tracks. The advancement track, focused on junior and mid-level employees, and the leadership track, focused on employees at the director and VP level, connecting employees with sponsors who have 10+ years of experience in the industry.

Sponsors are committed to helping participants foster new relationships within the organisation, hone their networking skills, map out their career path and offer new perspectives and opinions to key decision-makers who are supporting their growth.

Though RAPP aims to focus initially on more underrepresented groups within the industry, the goal is to ultimately empower all talent, creating a work environment that is more equitable in representation and growth opportunity across the network.
