African-American Creatives needed.

Saw this ad on craig 's list. Why not rework it, make it more generic and have it be an actual campaign ahead of Black History Month. Place it in Ad Age, Adweek and Creativity. Oh wait, wouldn't work. They only accept certain types of ads.

Only on craig’s list. Of course, it’s illegal to recruit candidates solely on ethnicity, which makes Madison Avenue’s diversity efforts more complicated. Folks have filed lawsuits against craig’s list over housing ads that blatantly discriminated. Not sure if any of the legal actions led to anything.

Then again, this craig’s list ad hardly offsets the biased hiring practices that seem to continue in our industry.
