Months before that, a lawsuit accused Gustavo Martinez, the since-ousted CEO of storied ad agency JWT, of repeatedly making inappropriate rape jokes and using sexist slurs, among other things.。
Those incidents and others prompted 4A to release the data early in hopes of jolting forward the conversation while the issue remained fresh of mind.。 "Given the amount of discourse generated in the past two weeks, some of which seemed to imply there were isolated incidents, we wanted to put any further denial to rest," 4A CEO Nancy Hill told 。Mashable。

, numbers show that women remain scarce in the executive suites and creative departments of Madison Avenue. 。
Hill says Roberts' comments are still representative of the attitudes of far too many ad execs when it comes to gender-related topics. 。
