Asians in Advertising is a non-profit 501c3 organization with a global network of over 5,000 members. Our mission centers around developing a thriving community, elevating Asians to higher leadership positions, and on-screen representation. We recognize the need to establish a space where Asians in advertising can unite and find support, particularly in an industry where exclusion is all too common. By fostering connections among our members, we aim to empower them to advance their goals, propel their careers forward, and nurture their artistic and personal growth.
Our organization serves as a platform for answering questions, offering advice, and engaging in meaningful discussions about the challenges faced by the Asian community and those unique to our industry careers. Asians in Advertising brings our community together through various events and programs to promote advancement and representation. Our yearly events include Matchmaking, a networking event; Breaking Barriers, a tent pole summit; and Conversations with AANHPI C-Suite, a panel featuring Asian executives sharing their experience and insights on advancing your career, reaching the C-Suite, and representing at the highest level.
Furthermore, we are dedicated to nurturing and supporting Asian talent across levels to break the bamboo ceiling and elevate our community through recurring scholarships and mentorship programs, including The Asian Creative Portfolio Scholarship, Future Asian Leaders, and our partnership with 3AF for NextGen Mentorship. Asians in Advertising strives to build a tight-knit community that fosters inclusivity, amplifies voices, and paves the way for a more diverse and representative future within the advertising industry. Through collaborative efforts with our community, allies and partners, we are committed to creating lasting change and empowering Asians to excel in their careers while championing their unique stories, on-screen and off.
