January 21, 2012 in Diversity and Inclusion, Executive Desk
The 2010 Census results revealed the true diversity of the U.S. population, shining a bright spotlight on the unavoidable need for multicultural marketing. Here, our founder and principal, Pawan J. Mehra, shares his outlook for the industry in 2012:
Diversity and Inclusion: More color and diverse leadership within corporate America with even wider inclusiveness. Think Total Inclusion.
Multiculturalism: Here to stay and grow beyond advertising, marketing and communications, encompassing all aspects of culture and community. Think Cross-Culturalism.
Ethnic Marketing: Increased awareness, involving emerging groups and evolving as an integral part of mainstream marketing. Think Diverse Marketing.
Hispanic: Commanding power and value as the largest multicultural consumer group and growing even faster. Think $1 Trillion+.
African American: Losing ground to Hispanic but still commanding respect as an influential and growing segment. Think $1 Trillion.
Asian American: Increased realization from corporate America on its fast growing buying power and growth potential. Think Emerging Group.
Culture: Takes a new meaning; goes beyond language and ethnic barriers to be more inclusive of the inherent diversity within all of us. Think Diverse.
