“Ownership just isn’t hard anymore. We can now find and own practically anything
we want, at any time, through the unending flea market of the Internet. Because of
this, the balance between supply and demand has been altered, and the value has
moved elsewhere.”

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us today. My name is Becky Arreaga, President of Mercury Mambo, a multicultural marketing agency based in Austin, TX and this is my business partner Liz. Over the past 16 years, our agency has worked across various industries to develop campaigns and programs designed to reach and resonate with multicultural audiences. And over those years, we’ve seen this segment continue to change and evolve not only in terms shear numbers, but also in attitudes, perceptions and influence. And we will be highlighting some of those for you today.
We’ll start off setting the landscape for today and for what our near tomorrow will look like. Then highlight two important Macro-trends that can impact your business today. And wrap up with a few steps you can take now to set the foundation for future efforts and future success.
Every large metro area in the US has seen a decline in the % of whites.
25% of all new births are Hispanic
Blacks are migrating from city to suburban lifestyles
Asian population itself grew 43% from 2000 to 2010 and is concentrated in 3 major markets – LA, NY and SF
Based on an analysis of the latest data from a survey of US consumer expenditures by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the profile of the biggest spender on fine jewelry in 2013, is:
This year, the “Millennial” generation is projected to surpass the outsized Baby Boom generation as the nation’s largest living generation, according to the population projections released by the U.S. Census Bureau last month. Millennials (whom we define as between ages 18 to 34 in 2015) are projected to number 75.3 million, surpassing the projected 74.9 million Boomers (ages 51 to 69). The Gen X population (ages 35 to 50 in 2015) is projected to outnumber the Boomers by 2028.
The Millennial generation continues to grow as young immigrants expand their ranks. Boomers – a generation defined by the boom in U.S. births following World War II — are older and shrinking in size as the number of deaths exceed the number of older immigrants arriving in the country.
The top buyers of fine jewelry and watches at any time of the year are married people without children between the ages of 55 and 64. However, when one removes watches from the equation, it is the 25-34 age group, the millennials, who buy more jewelry than anyone else.

Point in time – urban renewal, restoration,
When you're desperate for a paycheck, you take whatever you can get. During periods of economic turmoil marked by high unemployment, job-seekers are more likely to take roles at lower paying companies, because that's what's available to them, according to a National Bureau of Economic Research paper by Yale Economist Lisa Khan. The pool of talent is bigger and more competitive, allowing employers to cut salaries.
A depressed starting salary could mean less income for decades, Khan's research showed. Setting a low bar on your payscale to begin your career makes it harder to climb the ladder.
The result is a resounding belief in the YOLO philosophy – YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
One Fast Company article “Why Millennials Don’t Want To Buy Stuff” explains it well by looking at how the end of “scarcity” changes our urge to own.
Even in this strange new world, the economic laws of scarcity apply, and they are precisely what’s shifting.
In other words, the reason we acquire "stuff" is becoming more about what we get from the acquisition. Purchasing something isn't really about the thing itself anymore. Today, a product or service is powerful because of how it connects people to something—or someone—else. It has impact because we can do something worthwhile with it, tell others about it, or have it say something about us. As leaders and entrepreneurs, we can intentionally use this knowledge to our advantage. We just have to think about the "stuff" we sell in a slightly new way.
• Go Beyond the Mirror - ads that reflect now just what they are but who they are
Over half of both AA and Latino consumers believe that ad that reflect different ethnicities are more likely to connect versus ads featuring just AA or just Latino consumers
For Latinos, it's not just the language, although that offers a "cue", values, collectivism and spirituality are important
• Don't tell them what or when to buy. Traditions and holidays are still important to this consumer but they are throwing conventions out the window. Multicultural Millennials want and expect a mutual relationship and respect from companies.
• Share your story. Storytelling and storytellers deepen connections.
• Change rules of marketing!
Reach, (our consumers are multi-tasking digital natives, be visible where they are)
Relevance (what are the cultural nuances, life stages, mindset of the consumers you hope to reach, how can you connect with them there. Need to meet them where they are)
Reputation (how does your brand reinforce and reflect the traits, personalities, values and causes that are important to them)
Relation (this refers to the two-way conversation that this consumer expects, The questions for you are how do you address feedback or reward them for their loyalty)
Referral - (And finally referrals rule. How can you build upon the relationship you have built , encourage and enable positive referrals to their networks

And finally, we love sharing this slide because it really brings to life the previous point about changing the game when it comes to your marketing mix. Traditional print and even television for that matter are practically non-existent for this consumer. Social media, influencer campaigns and just a strong digital presence can win the game with multicultural millennials. And many of you may be using many of these channels, which is great. Your opportunity is to revisit your content for opportunities to integrate culturally relevant messaging.
