Dr Saluja offers the following advice on how to execute multicultural marketing in an authentic way:
1. Research
Multicultural marketing requires relevant research to understand the audience and a campaign design informed by this deeper understanding with the lens or the ‘walk in their shoes’ review process to identify potential blindspots. A one-size-fits-all approach won’t cut it, nor will a ‘tick a box’ approach to inclusion.
It’s important to recognise cultural differences at a very nuanced level because most consumers can see through marketing strategies that are simply paying lip service to the idea of inclusivity and diversity, but not really understanding it at a deeper more meaningful level, Dr Saluja tells CMO.
“Brands need to conduct adequate research with a diverse set of consumers to understand what does and doesn’t click with them and use that data to design effective marketing campaigns and programs. Companies also need to use data analytics and data science to analyse any consumer data and develop insights that will help them effectively target consumers based on cultural differences,” she says.
2. Preferences
Brands also need to constantly monitor consumer preferences through consumer research, surveys, social listening, data analytics and so on, so that they can predict how consumer tastes will change and evolve, she says.
3. Tech mindset
And keeping abreast of technological changes is also very important given how relevant technology has become in everyday life.
"Tracking competing brands and companies is also really important to monitor changes in the market,” Dr Saluja adds.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
