Columbus, Ohio has been stacking up impressive accolades for some time. The city is home to some of the country's top attractions, world-class sports, a great restaurant and bar scene, and a growing and diversifying population that's significantly younger than the statewide average. Recently, Experience Columbus – the destination marketing organization for Columbus – launched a new campaign to bring attention to the great things Columbus has and is. Its “yes, Columbus” campaign has set its sights on sharing the city's greatness with potential visitors and residents and draws on findings from a communitywide perception study from 2023 that showed that while those who know Columbus are positive, familiarity with Ohio's capital city is low outside of Ohio. What is the new campaign and what will its reach be? What is the Columbus brand? Columbus has long sought to shape a unique identity that's appealing, aspirational, and authentic to who we are and what we want to become. Can we?  Featuring: Yohannan "Yogi" Terrell, CEO, Warhol & WALL ST., and Director, Columbus Fashion Initiative Sarah Townes, Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer, Experience Columbus Stephanie Spicer, President, Luquire Steve Susi, Senior Director, Brand Strategy, Northwestern Mutual The moderator is Jennifer Walton, Chief Brand Officer, Sky Nile Consulting The livestream presenting sponsor was The Center for Human Kindness at the Columbus Foundation.

Early on in Robbie Banks' career, she grew used to being in rooms where she was the only woman, the only young person, and often, the only person of color. Banks, the new program director for diversity, equity and inclusion for the Columbus Partnership, is now helping Columbus' private sector build more racial equity inside their organizations. "My job essentially is to shepherd the work that is being done with our members that are the CEOS of our region's employers who have a strong interest and passion in moving our community toward being anti-racist," she said on our latest episode of the Women of Influence podcast. Banks said that she decided early on to embrace the role in which she found herself. "I soon recognized how valuable (it was) being in that space was and how I needed to embrace that," Banks said. "Not to look at it as a negative. How do I make sure that I speak up, that I advocate for things that are important to me and my work? I wanted to make sure I was listening more than anything, taking it in and being ready to add any input, ask questions when appropriate, so that I could make sure my demographic or my gender or whatever it may be, had a voice at the table." She comes to Columbus Partnership from Leadership Columbus, where she served as the program director for more than two years. She also spent five years before that working for Experience Columbus. Previously, she also served as the leader of Columbus Chamber's young professionals program. Banks said when she was younger, she decided to "just be a sponge in any room that I was in," soaking up leadership lessons. Now, as the result of her experience, she has realized the value of speaking up. And she feels much more confident doing so. "There was a time where I would kind of sit back and more or less listen," she said. There's a time and place for that. But now because of my experience people look to me to speak up. I don't always need to, but that is certainly the expectation that comes with being a leader and helping to advance this important work." She said that advancing diversity, equity and inclusion will require her to build a "sustainable strategy" that is executable over several years. It's not a quick process, she said. "My hope is for myself to continue learning to be a continuous learner and educating myself and being more aware," she said. "Self awareness is key in any leadership position, any position period. ... We need to work toward being at the forefront of having this be a sustainable strategy. That is something that takes a lot of learning and listening on my end."

This week's News & Brews raises a glass to Columbus Craft Beer Week. The annual event kicks off Friday and runs through May 25 offering a wide array of beer dinners, tap takeovers and other happenings to sate the local beer imbibing public. It felt appropriate then to split a sixer of the this year's collaboration beer, Six One Pour. The Central Ohio contingent of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association gather every spring to brainstorm and brew a beer to mark the occasion. This year's version is a very on-trend hazy IPA finished with a kick of key limes. How did this go down for our panel, which includes a few admittedly IPA-averse participants? Come for that discussion, stay for a tour of several Central Ohio drinking establishments, as organized by Experience Columbus, updates on the Columbus Ale Trail and why Kindred is no longer on it and, a little bit of pie talk.
