Making ads that resonate with an intended audience has always been top priority for advertisers. Historically however, prioritising certain groups ahead of others has resulted in the neglect and exclusion of other consumers.\u00a0 Right now, the world is acutely aware of these inequalities.<\/p>\n

So, how do advertisers position brands amidst cultural diversity?<\/p>\n

In a country defined by 11 national languages and considerable socio-economic divides, South African advertisers have an exciting challenge. It\u2019s clear that a deeper understanding of language, culture, and the prevailing mood are essential for establishing a relationship with consumers in a show of authentic empathy – to recognise and reflect the faces, the lives, and the aspirations of consumers they wish to reach with their brand stories.<\/p>\n

And therein lies a dilemma: how granulated must advertising campaigns become to cater for diverse audiences? Can a single campaign hold appeal across a broad spectrum of consumers? And if so, how?<\/p>\n

Brands often define their character through the stories that they tell. They\u2019re the stories that either appeal or are ignored. They shape the connection between the brand and the consumer. So, how do agencies account for all the differences, to build successful campaigns that unite consumers through their similarities?<\/p>\n
