I spend a lot of time talking about best practices to integrate Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) values into multicultural marketing. While closely intertwined, each serves a different purpose and shouldn't be used interchangeably. However, I've found that the most effective marketing strategies are those that infuse core DEI values to ensure we connect with diverse audiences in a way that's both impactful and respectful. Dive deeper into this approach in my recent #PRSA article to see how we can all create a more inclusive and vibrant future together! 🌐✨ #DEI #MulticulturalMarketing #InclusionMatters

Please read this article by Havas London chief creative officer Vicki Maguire about how the negative impact a working class background has on employment prospects in the UK is reflected in the social profile of those working in the advertising industry. We know well that the same issue applies more broadly across marketing. Vicki argues for more support to help people from working class backgrounds into advertising, not least because it would create a greater understanding of a massive proportion of the people with whom advertising hopes to connect. As a state educated lad whose parents left school at 15, I strongly agree with the need for positive action to address this employment bias. However, being from a working class background is not the only way one can understand ‘common people’ (thank you Jarvis). It is possible to achieve empathy and understanding across ‘divides’ of social class, gender, race, politics, sexual orientation, etc, provided you are genuinely interested and willing to listen and to learn. Which is part of the reason I wave the flag for qualitative research. I have spent many years talking to people from a massive range of backgrounds, many of them working class, and learnt so much about ‘ordinary’ people: deep truths about the life and perspectives of people who live in a similar world to that from which I came. Vicki’s article resonates so much with me that I am moved to write one of my own, explaining how deeply insightful research can provide a transformative understanding of the ‘ordinary’ people we are talking to in marketing, even if you don’t come from that background yourself. To find out more, Follow me or look out for the forthcoming post. https://lnkd.in/dSeKqwwE #advertising #socialmobility #qualitativeresearch #edi

Embracing diversity isn't just a buzzword; it's a strategic advantage! Why Diversity Anchored Texts? 1. Reflect Your Audience: Tailor your content to resonate with a diverse audience.

Where is the diversity in the #creativeindustry and where are the #culturallydiverse owned creative/media 360 agencies? Back on client side again and conducting a Creative/Media/PR/Advertising Agencies RFP process to keep one on retainer for business needs. One thing I promised myself I would do when back in this position is to ask the question 'how diverse is your team?' I have been given some interesting answers to that question and valid responses at that, however does not change the fact that #diversity in Creative/Media/PR/Advertising 360 agencies is still lacking. Capability is the number one priority in this RFP process and I will not compromise. I have only found a number of culturally diverse owned agencies, specialising in a lot of amazing things, but have not found one that does 360. How do I solve this dilemma, how do I use my influence to ensure #diversity in the agency I work with and not be perceived as biased? It can't be bias when research proves diversity in teams delivers superior creative, innovative and financial output. So, I can't help feeling like I am settling for less if I do not insist on a diverse team. Hopefully this is something 'The F.E.N Initiative' can help solve, but it looks like its a long road ahead. https://lnkd.in/e5KivkCy.
