How to Create and Measure Successful Multicultural Marketing

Corporate spend on multicultural marketing is expected to grow in 2022. Some of that budget is likely motivated by a long overdue cultural reconning with racial injustice, and some of it boils down to simple demographic realities. The 2020 Census revealed that the non-Hispanic White population shrank in real numbers for the first time in U.S. history. Minorities accounted for all the population growth over the past decade.

MULTICULTURAL MAJORITY HAPPENING FASTER THAN PREDICTED

According to Census 2020 data, America’s demographics are shifting to a multicultural majority faster than anticipated. While 2020 marked the official year that the first full generation of 17 and under was a multicultural majority, the Hispanic Marketing Council (HMC) estimates that this milestone was reached sometime in the middle of the last decade—years ahead of previous predictions. More compellingly, this shift forward means that Americans under 35 could be a multicultural majority as early as next year.

Pigskin? You mean lechon? For years, the football world has referred to the ball as a “pigskin.” The unique nickname was born before the 1850s when footballs were actually made from a pig’s bladder and the catchy name still sticks.
