I have no doubt this critical initiative will urge other industry partners to see where there are gaps in their media approach and how they\u2019re contributing to BIPOC media partner oversight.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI am thrilled to be a part of an effort that is increasing sustained investment and support of Black-owned and targeted media businesses,\u201d said Joy Profet, EVP, Head of Growth &amp; Operations, MAGNA. \u201cI have a passion for creating opportunity for audiences of color growing in influence, and I look forward to partnering with our media partners to help level the playing field for clients to access their audiences.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile the inaugural 2021 Equity Upfront\u2122 will focus on partnerships with Black-owned and targeted media businesses, Mediabrands will expand partnership efforts with other multicultural platforms including but not limited to the Latinx, Asian and LGBTQIA+ audiences.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">ABOUT MEDIABRANDS<\/span>:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIPG Mediabrands is the media and marketing solutions division of Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG).
