According to Inc. Magazine, Multicultural Marketing is no longer an option, but a necessity for organizational growth and increased market share.  

Multicultured audiences are the fastest growing population segment, wielding increasing influence and a combined buying power of almost $4 trillion dollars.  As consumer markets continue to become more diverse, brands and marketers who wish to remain relevant in the future need to know how to establish real connections with multicultural audiences. 

During this session, we will explore traditional and digital marketing tactics from the vantage point of strategic inclusion. 

By the end of the session, attendees will have a better understanding of how to:

  • Reach multicultural audiences 
  • Harness the power of cultural competence and appropriately target a mix of cultures within a given segment
  • Market to specific demographics without overreliance on stereotypes 
  • Understand community norms WITHOUT giving in to negative, irrelevant, inaccurate and/or outdated messaging
  • Embrace the creation of a visual culture that is more inclusive and illuminates places of commonality 
Everyone is welcome at this free interactive webinar.
