A Diversity Report for the Advertising/Marketing Industry (2023)
This report from ANA was done in partnership with ANA divisions AIMM and SeeHer. The report reveals that ethnic diversity of the advertising/marketing industry took a step backwards in 2023. Meanwhile, representation of women in the industry overall and in leadership positions continues to be strong.
“We need to break with a habitual mindset that there is a general market. We live in a totally diverse country with many cultures. We are not homogeneous. There is no average consumer. Multicultural marketing is mainstream marketing.”
- Marc Pritchard, Chief Brand Officer, Procter & Gamble
