About the event

Tuesdays with Kari Schimmel: DEI in Advertising: The importance of authentic storytelling
In an era when many companies are eliminating their DEI programs, Detroit advertising agency Campbell Ewald has doubled down on theirs. Join Kari Shimmel, CEO of Campbell Ewald, to hear how a robust DEI program influences the way they tell their clients' stories, and why authentic storytelling is essential to building inclusive companies, communities, and a thriving democracy.

Kari Shimmel is the first woman CEO of Campbell Ewald, a 110-year-old national advertising agency rooted in Detroit. A designer turned strategist and former educator at Detroit’s College for Creative Studies, she’s known as a “Swiss-Army knife” of marketing—combining creativity, strategy, and empathy to build brands that matter. Kari is a passionate advocate for inclusive cultures, believing that authentic storytelling begins with diverse voices. Her curiosity, collaborative leadership, and cross-disciplinary experience inspire teams to craft ideas, stories, and experiences that move people, brands, and communities forward.

Join us Nov 18 at The Unicorn Tavern for this much anticipated conversation!
