Description
What type of leadership is needed in today’s social climate? It is not secret that the US is more polarized and connecting with each other has become increasingly difficult. Marketing professionals can play an important role in bridging differences and building relationships through inclusive messaging, equitable practice and decision making, and capturing diverse perspectives.
These approaches call for a leadership approach that not only understands the fundamentals of equity, diversity, and inclusion, but also applies a more equity-minded and critical lens that goes beyond checklists. This presentation provides key terms and strategies marketing professionals can utilize to incorporate DEI in their approaches from forming the right team to developing the most inclusive content.
Key Learning Takeaways
-Developing an eye for equity in marketing
-How to be a more inclusive professional and leader
-Recognizing the power of marketing in bridging differences
