Customers

As one of the largest U.S. advertisers, we have a real opportunity to influence how women and girls are portrayed. That’s why we’re taking action to eliminate all bias and drive real change.

"She's Connected by AT&T," a sponsorship approach to gender equality, ensures our contributions enable meaningful connections to elevate and increase the accurate portrayal of women and girls in marketing, advertising, media, sports and entertainment.

Building relationships rooted in technology, professional development and the amplification of content, She’s Connected sits alongside our industry leadership roles and ongoing work with #SeeHer and #SeeHerInSports, an industry-wide movement aimed to eliminate gender stereotypes in advertising and media. We reached the SeeHer goal of 20% improvement two years ahead of the 2020 goal and through 2019, AT&T’s has improved the portrayal of women & girls in its ads by 42%.

Our brand takes action through various partnerships, like WNBA Changemaker, AT&T Unlocked Games, and our work with the United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT).

Content

There is a need for greater female representation both in front of and behind the camera, and through Warner Media, we’re actively working to drive those changes.

For the second year, AT&T and Hello Sunshine teamed up to launch the Filmmaker Lab in partnership with Fresh Films. The Filmmaker Lab aims to remove barriers for young, diverse female content creators and storytellers.

We are proud to support stories and storytellers that bring diversity of experiences and perspectives to life, and we are committed, notably through WarnerMedia, to fostering diversity in front of, and behind, the camera. 

 

WarnerMedia is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, as moral and business imperatives. It is essential that our workforce, content and creative partners reflect the diversity of our society and the world around us. Together, with other production companies, networks, guilds, unions, talent agencies and others in the industry, we all must ensure there is greater inclusion of women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities and other underrepresented groups in greater numbers both in front of and behind the camera. In September 2018, WarnerMedia announced a Production Diversity Policy which included the commitment to report on our diversity and inclusion efforts annually.

View our full production policy.

At AT&T, we prioritize diversity with more than 150 targeted channels on DIRECTV, AT&T TV and U-verse, so our customers can connect with the widest array of content. It’s crucial that we continue to expand our programming to reflect a variety of audiences.
