In today’s episode, Sarah joins us to share her valuable insights into multicultural marketing, where her love and passion for reaching diverse communities led her to create the Saramar Group. She discusses her college days of International Studies, volunteering with the YMCA in Costa Rica, and her experience of living in Spain to study at the University of Salamaca, all of which solidified her passion for culture and her need to serve and give back through business. Sarah explains how companies should connect with diverse communities in authentic and thoughtful ways and what they should consider when marketing to this audience. She also reveals what she thinks will happen in the future digital diverse marketing space and why it won’t mean discarding real-life connections but strengthening them instead.
“What are the pathways that a brand or a business needs to take to build that connection with the community?” – Sarah Marske
“People are just like you and me – they want to see themselves reflected in the advertising. They want to see their values. They’re interested in their beliefs being reflected—and you can tell—so whenever a brand communicates ‘I See You’ you know it’s powerful.” – Sarah Marske
“80% of the population growth in the U.S. over the next 20 years will be driven by the Hispanic population.” – Sarah Marske
“That idea of human connection is going to come back in full force. I think that we’re going to see people wanting to come together. I think we’re going to see brands have the opportunity to create experiences where people are together.” – Sarah Marske
