This program is designed to support historically excluded professionals in creative industries as they rise to executive roles. As Aquent's Marketing Director, Smith spearheaded initiatives that garnered award-winning content and record growth across key marketing channels. She also co-founded the DEI Council, which helped transform the company culture and contributed to the launch of a diversity recruiting solution for clients. As a result of this focus on building a more diverse workplace, Newsweek named Aquent to its list of America&rsquo;s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity, and the National Diversity &amp; Leadership Conference also recognized her as a 2024 Top 50 Inclusive Leader.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Director of Marketing and DEI Council Co-founder at Aquent
