Multicultural Marketing & Diversity

Welcome Remarks (11:00am - 11:05am ET)

Icebreaker & Roundtable Discussion (11:05am - 11:30am)

Session I. Transforming Advertising into Action: IMPACT with Digital Culture Group (11:30am - 12:05pm)

Remembering the adage "We aren't saving lives with advertising," Digital Culture Group challenges this notion with its innovative IMPACT (Impressions for Positive Change and Transformation) program. With brands donating a portion of their Digital Culture Group's campaigns added value ad impressions to gift to non-profit organizations, the program empowers brands to support vital causes in resilient communities. This program allows brands to bridge the gap, as 70% of non-profits lack an effective integrated marketing strategy to maximize online fundraising results (source: Non-profit Source). The session will showcase impactful case studies, highlight visionary clients, and explore how advertising can drive transformative change where it's needed most.

Speaker:

Crystal Foote, Founder- Digital Culture Group

Over the last four years, Ally has built authentic relationships with Black, Hispanic and LGBTQ audiences through multicultural programs that harness cultural moments and insights.

Speaker:

Erica Hughes, Senior Director Multicultural Marketing - Ally Financial
