The Business Case for Universal Multicultural Engagement
The global consumer landscape is more diverse than ever, with multicultural consumers representing a staggering 40% of the global consumer population. This means that brands focusing solely on one demographic, such as Hispanic or Asian, could be sidelining vast potential markets.

Key Data Points:
- Multicultural consumers are more likely to try new products and services than mainstream consumers.

Universal Insights:
