    NEW YORK --

    The One Club for Creativity has added a pair of top industry leaders to its Board of Directors.

    Elected by a vote of The One Club membership to two-year terms, effective immediately, are Chris Beresford-Hill, worldwide chief creative officer at BBDO, based in New York, and Kaleeta McDade, VML global chief experience officer, based in Atlanta.

    Board member responsibilities include providing guidance on the club’s many professional development, education, and diversity programs, connecting the club with advertising and design schools, and nominating top creatives to serve on juries for The One Show and ADC Annual Awards.

    “It is an honor to join the One Club Board, and its ongoing mission to support and celebrate the success of the creative community,” said Beresford-Hill. “With so much change in the business, and so much more on the horizon, giving confidence to, and supporting the growth of creative people, while ensuring their work is properly valued by the industry, has never been more important.

    “The appointment to The One Club Board is one of the pinnacle moments in my career,” said McDade. “I look forward to contributing to our shared mission and collaborating with such an inspiring group of individuals. Together, I am confident we can achieve meaningful impact and continue to drive community, creativity, and excellence. Thank you for this opportunity!”

    The pair replace agency veteran Sherina Florence, head of The One Club’s groundbreaking ONE School UK free portfolio school for Black creatives, who recently became a member of The One Club International Board upon relocating to London, and Keith Cartwright, president, CCO at Cartwright in Los Angeles, who completed his two-year term.

    Online forum Reddit will join the influential and closely tracked S&P 500 index

    Reddit will join the S&P 500 next week, giving the wide-ranging online forum a boost in prestige and investments.

    Joining the S&P 500 is considered an achievement for a company because the index is a widely followed measure of the broader U.S. stock market's health. A company is selected for the index based on several criteria that demonstrate stability, including market size and consistent profitability.

    Reddit's stock surged nearly 14% around midday Friday.

    Aside from status, inclusion means more investments. The index tracks 500 of the biggest U.S. stocks, and trillions of dollars in investments benchmark themselves against it. Those investments include mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Essentially, those funds will have to buy the stock once it becomes part of the index that the fund is tracking or mimicking.

    Investors are depending more than ever on funds that simply mimic indexes such as the S&P 500. It's a lower-cost way to invest, allowing savers to keep more of their investments. Partly because of that, such index funds have usually proven to be better performers than funds that try to pick and choose individual stocks.

    Reddit will join the benchmark index as of Tuesday. A stock must trade publicly for at least 12 months to join the S&P 500. The operator of the index, S&P Dow Jones Indices, stuck to that guideline recently when it declined to fast-track SpaceX into the index after the space exploration company's massive initial public offering in June.

    Reddit's inclusion comes weeks after it posted strong financial results for the second quarter. That included its highest-ever quarterly revenue. The company has been posting profits almost every quarter since it went public in... Read More
