Sonia is doing what needs to be done! This podcast offers a truly thought-provoking examination of the importance of inclusion in marketing through a brilliant storytelling like flow. Not only does Sonia share powerful statistics that really demonstrate the need for greater representation of marginalized groups in marketing - she also provides relevant examples from pop culture as well as her own intersectional experiences to illustrate how inclusion can be used to create better results for all of us and not just (but definitely including) your bottom line. All in all, this is an absolute must-listen for those interested in learning about how we can make our marketing initiatives more inclusive and effective. 100/10 would recommend.
I have struggled with my identity as an African immigrant while growing up in the American culture these past 20 years. Now that I'm in a leadership role in advertising, Sonia and her guests have helped me grow past my identity insecurities and biases through their stories. I've built an environment for our team where all ideas are welcome and improved how we help our clients connect with diverse communities.
I LOVE this podcast. It’s not just about Marketing, it’s about expanding perspectives to really SEE who you are talking to and LISTEN to what they are saying - ultimately helping to create resonance between you, your brand and your customers/clients. One of my favorite episodes is about ‘extraction’ - about taking more than we give. Ever since listening this episode, I see this benign type of appropriation everywhere! I don’t even think it is something we, in Western society, are aware that some of us are doing it ALL OF THE TIME! Thanks, Sonia, for this amazing podcasts. Can’t wait to see what new insights you share with us in 2023!
Great podcast full of information that I’ve found useful in my profession as a business leader and also in making choices about the brands and businesses I support. It helps people understand that posting a black box isn’t enough when addressing systemic issues. And even word choice, iconography, imagery, ad placements, translations, categorizations, etc—all matter and must be addressed in a strategic way.
