David Evans – Chief Insights Officer
The 2023 annual update to our signature “America Now” research reveals that brands have finally begun the long-awaited turnaround in sentiment among diverse Americans. But even as it’s clear that much more needs to be done to authentically engage these segments, our research shows that a meaningful percentage of Americans (mostly but by no means all older White people) has become increasingly mobilized to backlash against much of this progress. Bud Light and Target have now become the touchstones of the so-called “anti-woke” sentiment that no brand can afford to ignore. And all this is happening in a world in which the advent of generative AI could radically deepen our societal divisions.
Fill in the form below to download the agenda for the Cultural Fluency Summit: How Brands Can Navigate Polarization to Engage Diverse America.
Our 2023 Cultural Fluency Summit will spotlight what diverse America wants from brands on the issues that matter, as we head into the hot electoral season of 2024. This keystone presentation will reveal the changing importance of personal identity and how it factors into brands relationships. We also cover how consumers want brands to activate around major socio-cultural issues including race relations, abortion, climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, and generative AI, among other topics. For the first time, we will examine the role of political orientation across different segments to break through default assumptions of diverse segment beliefs and values.
Using insights gleaned from our proprietary CultureRate database of ad and brand performance, we explore the phenomenon of backlash. This year, like no other, has seen consumers mobilize in ever increasing numbers on both sides to place brands at risk when dealing with sensitive issues like LGBTQ+ pride, trans identity and women’s rights. But how big is backlash and what should brands do? We provide a framework to define the “backlash terrain” and go deep into a handful of exemplars to derive powerful lessons learned.
Attendees will walk away with clear insights into the transformation of America now and the strategies brands need to win diverse audiences while reducing the risk of backlash. You’ll also learn how to build creative that connects with specific segments while embracing the broader mainstream.
