MSI Webinar: Antecedents and Consequences of an Inclusive Brand Marketing Strategy

In recent years, marketers have expressed heightened motivation to expand the diversity, equity, and inclusion of underrepresented and marginalized people in their marketplace actions. In addition to spurring enhanced feelings of equality, respect, acceptance, belongingness, and empowerment among underrepresented and marginalized consumers, marketplace inclusion can materially change consumers’ purchase probability and willingness to recommend products and services. During this webinar, professors Dionne Nickerson and Sundar Bharadwaj will present their research, which draws from over thirty interviews with marketing practitioners to define what it means to be an inclusive brand and identify challenges, enablers, and business practices associated with an inclusive brand marketing strategy. They will discuss the implications of inclusive brand marketplace practices and the impact of such practices on various marketing outcomes.
