For Example…


Do not view the ethnic population as a
“monolith” It won’t be effective because
they don’t identify themselves that way



Use ethnically specific and community
newspapers as “Reach Optimizers”



Provide culturally relevant content and
messaging. Cultural sustainability matters.



Cultural relevancy is a two-way street.



Don’t use a “one size fits all” approach to
outreach. Target your audience and customize
your message.

Asian Audiences: “the more you
tell, the more you sell.”

Latino Audiences: prefer brand
loyalty and punchy, sloganbased, entertaining advertising.
