FCB Chicago’s Successful Creators Showcase Shines a Light

As for the The Creators Showcase hosted by FCB Chicago, this event came to life as a curation of Black artistry to inspire, honor, bring forth change, and increase cultural awareness within our agency. The intent of this event was twofold. The effort aims to create a more equitable workplace by striving to increase cultural competence while lifting the Black community by connecting colleagues with exceptional talent and resources for future work. The event featured pieces of creative work from Black Directors, including Quriosity directors Sheldon Candis and Korey Miller, in their gallery.
