The One Club brings back its ‘Here Are All The Black People’ multicultural career fair to New York

The One Club’s highly anticipated multicultural career fair ‘Here Are All The Black People’ has returned.

The one-day New York event, which is funded by the proceeds raised annually at the One Show, provides multicultural students, recent graduates, and creative professionals who are interested in exploring careers in advertising and design, the opportunity to showcase their talent to top agencies in the industry. The career fair aims to provide real-world solutions to the lack of diversity in the advertising and design industries’ creative departments. This year the event has been extended to include aspiring strategists and account planners/managers as well as creative hopefuls.

‘Here Are All The Black People’ was created following a panel discussion between Jimmy Smith and Jeff Goodby. The pair were discussing the lack of diversity in the creative departments in advertising agencies, at which time Jeff asked, “Where Are All The Black People?”. Smith, Goodby, and The One Club decided to answer the question and launched the event to address the imbalance and, ‘Here Are All The Black People’ was born.
