Inclusion

The guide outlines the business case for inclusive advertising, citing increased sales and brand equity, and provides a detailed operational framework for implementing DEI across organisational structure, agency briefing, creative production, media placement, and talent management.

• Inclusive advertising practices correlate with improved financial and brand performance, including higher short-term and long-term sales, increased consumer consideration, greater pricing power, and stronger brand equity.
• Diversity in leadership and teams is linked to better financial outperformance and innovation, with teams in the top quartile of ethnic representation being 39% more likely to outperform, and executive teams with over 30% women performing better financially.
• Consumer trust and action are driven by diversity in advertising, with 52% of all consumers and 70% of Gen Z consumers trusting brands more when ads reflect their culture, and 64% of individuals taking action after seeing diverse ads.
• Significant portions of the global population feel underrepresented by advertisers, with the highest rates of feeling 'never' well represented occurring in Japan (20%) and the Czech Republic (15%).
• The LGBTQIA+ community represents a substantial economic market, with annual spending estimated at £33 billion in the UK, nearly $1 trillion in the US, and $3.7 trillion globally.
