multicultural engagement

How do you reach and engage today’s incredibly diverse, multicultural audience?
MED-Project ran into this challenge as they rapidly scaled operations from a single county in California to a 5-state initiative, targeting tens of millions of people across the United States.
Obstacles:
- Cultural differences
- Language barriers
- Diverse media habits
Marketing is not a one-size-fits-all discipline.
Achieving MED-Project’s goal of driving impact meant starting with a deep, data-driven understanding of the brand’s diverse multicultural audiences, and tailoring a unique voice and media mix for each group.
In addition, MED-Project would need to partner with large, trusted retail chains and healthcare providers to develop in-person, experiential exposure for under-represented communities.
