DEI and Multicultural Marketing: Where Do We Go From Here?
We live in serious times. DEI programs are being gutted. At Harvard, DEI offices have been renamed, affinity celebrations canceled, and visible signs of inclusion quietly removed. In Florida and Texas, public universities have been ordered to dismantle equity programs. Teachers are being monitored for uttering words like identity. Libraries are pulling books. And in state after state, lawmakers aren’t just targeting trans rights—they’re erasing the existence of LGBTQ+ families like mine. By David Morse - Chief Insights Officer, New American Dimensions

From Performative to Performance: If You Cut “DEI” You Probably Weren’t Measuring ROI- What Now?
Could it be that if you cut "DEI" you probably weren’t investing in the right strategies, or you turned it into a compliance effort? Was DEI performative and not about performance? Here is my take and humble reflections, above the noise and fears of the moment. You can call it whatever, rebrand it, or kill it, but the market is the market, and the growth drivers are the growth drivers, and the power of culture as the new mainstream remain strong. By Lili Gil Valletta - Chief Executive Officer

The Evolution of Soccer into Fútbol [REPORT]
With the MLS season having kicked off this past weekend, the U.S. soccer landscape is hotter than ever. Driven by a younger and more diverse fanbase, U.S. Hispanic fans are playing a pivotal role in the explosion of fútbol fandom that’s permeating throughout the U.S.. With the 30% Latino fanbase of MLS, the 60 million fans of the National Mexican team here in the U.S. and the growing Hispanic cohort gearing up to root for their home countries during the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the rise of the Hispanic population has been instrumental in driving soccer’s mass appeal.
The Future of Marketing in a Multicultural America
The United States is continually growing into one of the most diverse nations in the world. By 2050, the White population is projected to decline to 46%, while Hispanic and Asian populations are expected to rise significantly (Kipnis et al., 2019) . These demographic shifts are fundamentally reshaping society and the marketplace. This challenges marketers to adapt their strategies. In a multicultural society, marketing must no longer just be about selling products; although from a revenue perspective, corporations will have to incorporate inclusivity and diversity to keep up with the dramatic demographic transition (Mueller, 2008). It is important to recognize and embrace the unique identities and needs of diverse populations. Brands or companies that fail to engage with diversity risk the potential of alienating segments of their target audiences and becoming obsolete. A multicultural society is transforming marketing practices in the United States by reshaping consumer identity through diverse demographics, emphasizing the role of cultural values in consumer behavior, and the need for inclusive marketing strategies. These shifts will require marketers to develop a deeper understanding of their audiences. By Kristina Simon - Florida State University
