Monique L. Nelson is chair and chief executive officer of UWG, the country’s longest-standing multicultural marketing agency.

Headquartered in Brooklyn, with offices in Detroit, Atlanta and Miami, UWG maintains a list of esteemed clients. Today, this list includes Ford Motor Company, The Home Depot, Mars, Inc. and PepsiCo. As one of the country’s leading multicultural agencies, UWG services its clients with General Market, Black, Hispanic, Asian and LGBT marketing and advertising, digital and traditional advertising, consumer insight, public relations, consumer healthcare communications and cultural fluency consulting.

Ms. Nelson has expanded the agency’s client list and has led her team in the development of several award- winning campaigns that show the wide range of the agency’s expertise, as well as its ability to connect its clients with the growing and diverse cultures of today’s marketplace. With today’s minorities becoming the new majority, Ms. Nelson sees the role of multicultural agencies as even more invaluable than when UWG was founded more than 50 years ago.
