A.wordsmith operates on the belief that amplifying others’ voices is the most powerful form of allyship. Every day we gather to share a diverse range of opinions, experiences and perspectives. Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion cascades throughout the organization and touches every aspect of our brand, from culture and marketing to client service and professional development. We are proud to partner with Portland Means Progress to further our DEI efforts through accountable planning and reporting. Since our inception, we have committed time and resources to organizations in our community that are dedicated to greater inclusivity and access for underrepresented and minority populations. Through our own media platforms, we work to promote diverse people and places that deserve recognition. Above all, our team is what makes us great, and we continually strive to build and retain the most talented and diverse workforce possible through equitable recruitment, pay and advancement opportunities. We recognize we have much to learn, and we will not shy away from doing the hard and necessary work to ensure diverse, equitable and inclusive representation and operations, both within our walls and beyond.
