PRESS RELEASE - For Immediate Release

PHILADELPHIA, February 16, 2020 - DMi Partners, a Philadelphia-based full-service digital agency with a focus on performance marketing, has announced the hiring of Brittney Scurry to serve as their Diversity and Inclusion Manager. She will partner with DMi leadership to develop and evolve practices, policies and programs to ensure a culture of belonging that foster an open environment for employees to thrive and be their authentic selves.

“As agencies continue to make pledges and plan to combat systemic racism, we wanted to manifest this commitment into something tangible, and Brittney’s efforts will ensure that we get it done,” said Patrick McKenna, CEO at DMi Partners. “Diversity and inclusion are instrumental to our core beliefs as a company, so it was an intuitive decision to create a role that puts us in a position to deliver on that promise.”

Scurry will build upon the foundation laid by the Realize Leadership Group, who has championed this work for DMi as outside counsel and consultant for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion since 2019.

“Scurry brings with her a passion for people that is contagious and a unique approach to diversity, equity, inclusion, and culture,” said Carla Thomas, President, and CEO at the Realize Leadership. “DMi’s success and sustainability as a leader among digital marketing agencies will be the direct result of their people as well as their ability to continue to build a culture where the many dimensions of difference are represented and valued at all levels of the company.”

Scurry will be tasked with overseeing all aspects of talent management, recruitment, learning, and wellbeing at the agency. She will work alongside DMi, their clients, and the community as a commitment to who they are.

Bringing experience and education in critical identity studies to the role, Scurry is an accomplished architect of end-to-end program management, training programs to build inclusive environments, and providing direct support to identity-based organizations.

“DMi Partners along with Realize Leadership Group have developed a great foundation to build upon. The culture and commitment make me eager to strategize and implement policy and structure to increase our teams’ diversity and promote inclusive and equitable practice. As we continue to grow as a company, I look forward to collaboratively making meaningful and lasting change with DMi Partners.” said Scurry.

Scurry’s appointment is the latest in a series of rapid growth and purposeful recruitment at DMi Partners, and the agency forecasts growing the team by 63% in 2021.
