DEIB Collective

As part of GPJ’s mission to unleash the power of creativity to deliver experiences that elevate brands and drive tangible results, we’re dedicated to providing equal opportunities for employment, pay and promotion across our business, regardless of age, race, religion, gender, sexuality and dis(ability). Our dedication goes beyond our own employees and extends to our clients and suppliers, many of whom have been active in this space for decades. Diversity fuels innovation. Equity ensures that every voice is valued and heard. Individuals shine and teams radiate. Every person, project, and product is elevated.

As we’ve grown, we’ve learned that we need to be intentional in creating an environment that values each person and their unique background. We commit to safe spaces for conversations, delivering education on racial inequities, and a greater understanding and alignment alongside marginalised individuals and their experiences. This is an essential thread in the fabric of our community and the experience marketing industry. We have established the  Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Collective to advance our mission. The purpose of the DEIB Collective is to proactively research, educate ourselves, champion core initiatives with our broader community and drive positive change within our business and with those we partner with.
