Atlanta-based Majority doesn’t have a DEI strategy.

The 3-year-old agency, ADWEEK’s Multicultural Agency of the Year, is built on a philosophy that reaches far beyond the industry’s definition of DEI—and even this award category. Its success is accelerating as a result.

That’s not to say the 50-person shop isn’t diverse. Around 80% of Majority’s employees—including the C-suite—represent BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

But rather than engineering a fix for the industry’s representation failures, Majority’s founders are guided by a simple truth: Communities of color and queer people drive popular culture, and building a team comprised of people from those backgrounds is the best way to authentically tap into culture on behalf of brands.
