Somewhere Over the Rainbow: How Marketers Can Support Pride Month and Avoid Rainbow-Washing
More than ever brands and organizations are showcasing LGBTQ+ community support in June. But consumers are increasingly aware of “rainbow washing” and question true, authentic support.
As is the June norm, almost all giant brands launch ad campaigns or are marketing Pride-themed products, clothing and food. But with consumers having a watchful eye towards the brands they buy and a contentious battle about LGBTQ+ legislation in a divided country, marketers are under incredible scrutiny to get it right. Pride marketing will need to go deeper than rainbow packaging to resonate with consumers.
Join Sentient Decision Science Founder and CEO Dr. Aaron Reid on June 30th at 1PM EST to look at Pride Month 2022 to learn:
- How effective Pride 2022 advertising was at improving associations of inclusivity, support and love with their respective brands.
- Which Pride campaigns were successful in increasing brand appeal while improving how we feel about the LGBTQ+ community.
- What Pride ads leveraged narratives or creative approaches that demonstrated positive emotions among consumers.
Using Sentient Insights’ emotion intelligence platform, Dr. Aaron Reid will demonstrate how Sentient Decision Science’s technology pinpoints the emotionally-charged moments and how consumers are influenced after viewing Pride 2022 ads. This emotion AI is allowing creatives and researchers unprecedented understanding of how the subconscious changed from exposure to advertising. Register for the webinar.
