Tracks Venues

In this session...

The UK is on track to become the most diverse country in Europe, with Black, Asian, and Multi-Ethnic consumers driving a £300 billion market shift. However, many brands are not prioritising their engagement with these consumers. They fail to harness this financial power, missing out on billions in spending across beauty, health, finance, travel, food, beverages, entertainment, and more.

In this session, we will move beyond general discussions of diversity and focus on real market insights and commercial opportunities.

You will discover:

How Black, Asian, and Multi-Ethnic consumers outspend the general population in key industries.

The £62.5 billion in savings and investments that financial brands are neglecting.

Why food and beverage brands that embrace cultural relevance are tapped into a £16.7 billion growth market.

A case study featuring Cosmopolitan’s Black Beauty Hub demonstrates that inclusive strategies yield tangible benefits in terms of ROI.
