As Maya Angelou once said, “In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” I couldn’t agree more. With June being Pride Month, we thought we’d take a break from our usual B2B data and marketing topics to spotlight the beauty and strength that the LGBTQ+ community brings to our experiences in the workplace.
At OMI, I truly believe the way we embrace the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) each and every day improves the way we collaborate and connect with one another and with our clients. It has elevated our creativity and innovation, and made working together a more joyful experience.
Our commitment to the LBGTQ+ community is deeply rooted in our company values and overall culture. Operating in a diverse city like Los Angeles has not only expanded our talent pool but has also created an exchange of ideas, perspectives, and expertise that would not have been possible without the varied backgrounds and experiences of our team members.
As an entrepreneur and business leader, I consider it my responsibility to foster inclusivity and community with our LGBTQ+ employees so that every individual feels respected, valued, and free to be their authentic selves. We aim to create an environment at OMI where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. My team and I believe it is our actions today that will drive positive change and pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive future.
OMI is proud to celebrate Pride. Please join us in honoring the beauty and strength that our LGBTQ+ friends and colleagues bring to our lives -- this month and all year long.
At OMI, we believe good things happen when you share your knowledge. That's why we're proud to educate marketers at every level - in every size and type of organization - about the basics of email marketing and the contact data that powers it.
