2020 Census: Empowering People of Color

Description:

With the 2020 Census more digitally accessible than ever, its results should be the most representative they’ve ever been. What does that mean for companies leveraging consumer data? Featuring Census Partner, Nielsen, Ethnifacts, Yum! Brands and GSD&M, this panel dives into how marketers can use Census insights to build more inclusive workforces and as a result, create innovative strategies that reach beyond “traditional” demographics. As the buying power of People of Color grows and shifting lifespan predictions determine a new group of household decision makers, this discussion, backed by facts and predictions, will help brands utilize the Census to create more authentic connections with consumers.
