Developing a Sales Mindset
One group that we, as an industry, have had problems with over the years is sales. We have heard sales staff say that insights do "fluff," "touchy-feely," and "numbers" that don't help them sell anything. Salespeople don't mess around. If you aren't helping them sell, then you aren't helping them.

Outlook of an Eternal Optimist: Status Report of an Unsinkable Industry
The first half of 2024 has been nothing short of a whirlwind. Ad industry conversations have centered around many exciting opportunities, like using Generative AI as a tool to elevate all steps of the creative storytelling process, from research to insights to a much broader scale of personalized content. At the same time, we are having substantive discussions around major barriers that can thwart our clients’ ability to evolve at the pace of the changing consumer landscape. One would be the mounting attempts at undoing DEIB practices and protocols, which can – and has – had a direct impact on the priority placed and budgets allocated to Multicultural Marketing. Another is the legislative agenda to strip any consumer data related to race, ethnicity and other identity-related demographic information from critical data sources, which can severely limit our ability to identify, study, reach and engage the multicultural consumer segments with the most relevant content and brand solutions.
