PREVIEW
Your goal should be to create Influencer Marketing campaigns that are built on diversity, equality, and inclusivity. But, getting diversity right in campaigns can be tricky.
Diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), Inclusive Marketing, and Multicultural Marketing are the right choice because they reflect human kindness. That said, companies will be most convinced to commit to and follow through on diversity initiatives when they experience a return on their investment (ROI), especially benefits that positively impact the business' bottom line.
In this eBook, you'll learn what DEI means, how it relates to Influencer Marketing, how it differs from Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing, how to involve influencers who match your target market in every phase of your Influencer Marketing process, and surefire tips to ensure your campaigns deliver diversity and financial ROI.
"While DEI looks to shape corporate cultures to be more diverse, equitable and just; Inclusive Multicultural Marketing aims at growing the business by investing in research and strategic initiatives to authentically market to multicultural audiences."
— Juanita Velez, Multicultural Marketing Expert and Founder of HYPE
