It breaks the traditional marketing trade-off between niche and mainstream marketing by finding new ways to activate using culturally-specific insight to accelerate broad success.

Cultural Fluency to achieve the halo effect.
Recent research shows that most marketing organizations have not yet caught up with this marketing opportunity. Despite the vast amount of advertising spend, only 37% of consumers think advertisers have “done their research” in authentically representing diverse consumers.
Leading brands are making Cultural Fluency a top priority from the outset, they define mainstream as diverse, and apply diverse-led insights at the core of marketing plans. Moreover, the most successful brands commit to making data and analytics an ongoing part of how they understand their diverse audiences, rather than relying on episodic (and quickly dated) research or gut-and-instinct driven decisions. They ensure every marketing plan starts with insights from diverse segments.
In times of tightening budgets, these brands get more out of marketing spend by squaring the circle to create targeted marketing that can be used with mainstream audiences. They do this by applying cultural insights specific to one demographic target in ways that resonate compassionately with the deeply human concerns that connect us all, a phenomenon we call the “halo effect.”
Cultural Fluency accelerates growth. Grounding representation in cultural specifics for one group that nonetheless work across many segments helps brands achieve higher marketing ROI, higher loyalty, and more rewarding performance.
Brands can’t win with a mentality of that diverse marketing is incremental to mainstream strategy. Instead, winners make cultural fluency the currency for everything they do.
