Product dedicated to leveraging marketing, communication and advertising investments with partners led by representatives of diverse groups: women, non-white people, LGBTQIAPN+ and PCD's.
Underused potential
The demand for companies and marketing professionals from diverse groups continues to grow due to brand diversity initiatives and the sophistication of ESG initiatives in companies. Although brands want to be associated with companies with diverse leadership, there are still some impediments:
1
Discovery - brands don't have the tools to find companies/people.
2
Companies from different groups that are just starting out cannot register as suppliers to large companies.
3
The market needs to be more actively promoted and trained in order to increase supply.
