DE&I STATEMENT
At TICO, DE&I is in our DNA. It is central to who we are and what we do. We are deeply committed to championing diversity, equity and inclusion across our platforms.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR OWNERS
TICO is a multicultural marketing organization dedicated to providing the best diverse experiences across our platforms. In July 2022, we announced the formation of a new diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) practice. “Over the past 11 years, Oscar and I have accomplished amazing success as a small business to assist our clients nationwide to focus better on diverse strategies for success. Thus far, we are proud of our progress and accomplishments. Now more than ever, we are deeply committed to advancing and elevating these efforts internally and externally.” (Cici Rojas, Partner and President)
Reshaping our culture to provide a more transformational multicultural, diverse, and inclusive experience is a critical best practice to reflect the changing demands with our clients and communities we serve nationwide. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are key strategic opportunities for the successful achievement of TICO’s mission. In the dynamic, relationship-focused environment, TICO’s success will be shaped by how well DEI are embedded in business processes and organizational culture. Because of this new focus, our team is excited to welcome the new practice to our growing company, especially with the meaningful work we produce and create in the multicultural segment. “Cici and I are confident this DE&I practice will be an incredible opportunity for our company and will build our next phase of growth in this space in Kansas City and Nationally.” (Oscar Monterroso, El Jefe)
TICO is committed to driving this work because it leads to innovation for our clients and a thriving and positive employee engagement for our teams. “We leverage our diverse background to develop innovative, meaningful business solutions for your company. As Founders, we are personally committed to implementing concrete action steps that ensure we make real progress in this area. The work we accomplish together will serve as a blueprint to create a more equitable future for TICO and its clients.”
On the horizon, we look forward to sharing our DE&I plans. Our commitment to DE&I begins with us — at the top. In addition, our Senior leadership team is fully committed to encouraging all employees and clients to expand their knowledge, understanding and appreciation of this new practice.
This is a journey not a sprint and we will get there together!
Thank you! CiCi Rojas and Oscar Monterroso, Owners, Tico Productions LLC.
DIVERSITY IN ACTION
"There’s a difference between diversity, inclusion, and engagement. Diversity is about the relationships you have with others who are different from you. Inclusion is when you invite everyone to the table to have vision, voice, and visibility. Engagement is about accountability and ownership efforts for diversity."
