In 2019, Intouch was recognized as the first-ever Diversity and Inclusion Champion by Med Ad News for its work in bringing diverse voices and perspectives to the organization through panel discussions, multicultural celebrations and other educational activities. Throughout the year, we worked hard to deserve that honor — not simply because we like awards (who doesn’t?), but because it’s the right thing to do. We know our diversity makes us stronger, so we celebrate and educate whenever we can. Following are just four ways Intouch embraced and supported employees from all walks of life in 2019 — check it out!

Intouch Wraps February With Black History Month Happy Hour
Like many agencies, Intouch recognizes the importance of taking time out to celebrate together, whether via an informal team toast after a big project wraps up, or with the somewhat regular – and only slightly formal – happy hours we have during the non-summer months. For February, the Chicago office hosted a trivia event in honor of Black History Month.
