Media conglomerate GroupM persists in promoting diversity through its Media Inclusion Initiative.

GroupM, a leading media investment group, has announced the launch of the Media Inclusion Initiative, a global programme aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion within the media industry. This initiative is a significant step in GroupM's ongoing commitment to the "2+% Pledge" and the Diverse Voices Initiative.

The Media Inclusion Initiative is designed to support a diverse range of Black-owned media companies and creators worldwide. One of its key components is the Accelerator, a positive impact content fund that falls under GroupM's Responsible Investment Framework. The Accelerator's operations are also a part of WPP media group's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.

The Accelerator is global in scope, providing support to Black-owned media creators across the globe. It functions as a component of GroupM's Media Inclusion Initiative, which is the latest move by the company to promote diversity and inclusion within the media industry.

In addition to the Accelerator, the initiative includes the "Diverse Voices Accelerator" positive impact fund. Together, these components aim to make a positive impact around diversity and inclusion within the media industry.

The "2+% Pledge," encouraging GroupM clients to invest at least 2% of their total media budgets toward Black-owned media, is also a part of the programme. This pledge begins immediately and will continue for the next 12 months.

The Accelerator is a part of GroupM's content investment and rights management company, Motion Content Group. The search results do not provide information about the person or group who founded the Media Inclusion Initiative within the WPP media group.

The Diverse Voices Initiative, which the Accelerator is included in, is a part of GroupM's Responsible Investment Framework, designed to promote diversity and inclusion. This initiative is a continuation of GroupM's commitment to fostering a more inclusive media landscape.

In summary, GroupM's Media Inclusion Initiative and the Accelerator represent a significant step forward in promoting diversity and inclusion within the media industry. By supporting Black-owned media companies and creators worldwide, GroupM is demonstrating its commitment to creating a more diverse and inclusive media landscape.
