Empowering Diversity
According to Marc Pritchard, chief brand officer of P&G and chairman of the ANA board of directors, the ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference "is the most important marketing conference in the industry … because multicultural marketing is the biggest growth opportunity we have in front of us. And because multicultural marketing is mainstream marketing."
Multicultural marketing is essential when marketing to audiences with a specific cultural background. It fully takes into consideration the target customer's ethnicity, language, religion, traditions, celebrations, and other applicable factors and utilizes this information to craft a marketing message that attracts them to your business.
As shown in the latest Census results, the United States is more diverse and multiracial than ever. The multicultural population increased from 36.3 percent in 2010 to 42.2 percent in 2020 and will be the majority in the not-too-distant future.
Marc Pritchard, chief brand officer of P&G and chairman of the ANA board of directors, shares his thoughts on multicultural marketing.
Strategies for Multicultural Marketing Excellence
Multicultural marketing isn’t just a trend — it’s a business imperative. As the population is increasingly multicultural, companies must recognize and embrace the diverse audiences they serve. By tailoring strategies to resonate with different cultural backgrounds, businesses can unlock new opportunities, build stronger customer relationships, and drive growth.
At the 2024 ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference, presented by Amazon Ads, November 18-20 at the Bellagio Las Vegas, you’ll find a dynamic gathering of industry leaders and client-side multicultural marketing professionals. Now in its 26th year, this conference provides a platform for thought-provoking presentations, actionable insights, and critical discussions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with fellow marketers, gain insights, and contribute to advancing multicultural marketing and diversity initiatives!
