Ab+c Creative Intelligence – one of the region’s largest full-service marketing communications firms with offices in Wilmington, Philadelphia and Bloomsburg, PA – recently announced a new partnership with Global Learning and Diversity Partners, LLC (GLDP).
A bilingual management consulting organization, Wilmington-based, GLDP focuses on helping health systems, academic medical centers, government, education and large and small businesses build learning workplaces.
Ab+c chose to partner with GLDP based on the integrity of their work, depth of services and experience and measurable outcomes. GLDP’s focus on healthcare and educational-oriented industries also presented a natural fit for a significant portion of ab+c’s client base, a release stated.
“Our partnership is based upon common goals of growing diverse talent and increase access to culturally competent services and products while promoting innovation,” said Paul Pomeroy, ab+c managing partner. “We’re very excited about what this coming together will mean for our own growth as a company, as well as for our ability to provide our clients with insights, resources and solutions in a world that is rapidly changing in terms of cultural inclusion.”
GLDP’s president and founder, Dr. Rosa M. Colon-Kolacko, will take the lead for GLDP in the new partnership and provide expertise, advice and consulting in the areas of cultural competent marketing, communications, recruitment and multi-cultural health promotion for ab+c and its clients. As a Culture Strategy Executive, Colon-Kolacko has established a national reputation for her ability to leverage diversity to “foster a culturally competent society in order to improve equity, inclusivity and organizational performance.”
Colon-Kolacko holds a Ph.D. in organizational development and change from Benedictine University, a MBA from Henley Business School, University of Reading England, a post-graduate marketing diploma from the Chartered Institute of Marketing, London, and a Certificate in Diversity Management (CDM) from Georgetown University and the AHA Institute for Diversity in Healthcare Management.
