Cultural relevance boosts ad effectiveness, says new ANA metric
Marketers looking to improve the inclusivity of their campaigns have a new tool—and new reasons to use it. On Monday, the Association of National Advertisers released the Cultural Insights Impact Measure, a metric that gauges the cultural relevance of an ad and the extent to which it reflects genuine insights that speak to consumers of all backgrounds.
An accompanying survey from the ANA’s Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing also shows that ads that score well on the CIIM ranked 2.6 times higher on brand relevance, and viewers who saw them were twice as likely to recommend the brand, 2.7 times more likely to try the brand for the first time and 50 percent more likely to repurchase. ...

Culturally Relevant Ads Drive Brand Growth, ANA Study Finds
It’s kind of a no-brainer, but now we have the data to back it up: When someone feels as though an ad they’ve seen accurately reflects culture, they’re more likely to buy products from the featured brand.
A new study by the Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing, an arm of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), recently surveyed 10,000 individuals from various racial backgrounds, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities.
Turns out, consumers who perceive ads as “culturally relevant” are 2.6 times more likely to find the brand relevant to them, and are 2.7 times more likely to purchase a brand for the first time. Additionally, they are 50% more likely to repurchase a brand they have bought in the past. ... Read More
ANA-AIMM’s Case for Change
Just released report from the ANA’s Masters of Marketing conference: “The Case for Change: Multicultural and Inclusive Marketing as a Business Imperative for Long-Term Growth” provides an exceptional resource to help marketing decision makers better understand the need for change in the face of the new contemporary marketplace. This study is particularly crucial as half of Fortune 500 companies are currently experiencing sales declines.
Written and researched by the ANA’s Alliance for Inclusive & Multicultural Marketing (AIMM) in partnership with Dávila Multicultural Insights and Santiago Solutions Group (SSG), the report makes the business case for Multicultural marketing to boost growth rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, which can fall short of comprehensive relevance and effectiveness.

March 28, 2018. MediaPost by Joe Mandase.- Obvious partisan political implications aside, the Trump White House’s push to add a “citizenship” question to the U.S. Census raises big issues for the world of marketing, advertising and media.
Specifically, much of the industry’s most representative research is either based on or weighted to U.S. Census estimates of the size and composition of the population. If, as opponents fear, requiring people to state their citizenship creates a non-respondent bias among some people -- especially illegal aliens, or fearful legal aliens -- it will distort the representation of the population in the U.S. Census estimates and all the research benchmarked to it. ...
