In conversation with the DMA Black Marketers Council: Nick Myers

Motivated by the racial events of 2020 in the US and UK, along with recognising the declining representation of black talent in data and marketing, the DMA, Barclays, and OLIVER convened senior industry leaders to address the issue.

From this initial roundtable emerged the Black Marketers Council, dedicated to promoting positive actions that enhance the representation and inclusion of black professionals in marketing. The council aims to contribute to developing more ethical, diverse, and ultimately successful organisations.

In an interview conducted by Natalie Eve Roper, Founder of Embrace, council members discussed their motivations for joining, professional and personal concerns in the DEI space, and how these factors drive their ambitions.

This first interview is with Nick Myers, Head of Planning UK, OLIVER and Chair of the Black Marketers Council.
