II. Gender and Age Diversity in Global Ad Creative (12:10pm - 12:50pm) | VIRTUAL

Marketers wield enormous power in effecting cultural norms by how they portray people and situations in brand stories. Since the dawn of advertising, who is cast to “play” consumers and who we hear speaking sets standards around beauty, gender roles, who makes purchase decisions, and more.

An analysis of 2 million creative assets deployed globally, builds on ER’s earlier report that focused on North America. Utilizing AI and Machine Learning, the study provides the first-ever, large-scale diversity benchmarks for the global advertising industry. This session will focus on trends in gender and age of those we see in advertising and gender of those we hear.

Melinda McLaughlin, Chief Marketing Officer - Extreme Reach
Andrew Blake, Product Director, Analytics & AI - Extreme Reach
