As we approach Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we look forward to celebrating this impactful, fast-growing segment that possesses a rich cultural mosaic of values and passion. It’s also worth acknowledging the significant economic power of the Asian American community. By 2024, their buying power is projected to reach $1.6 trillion, and in 2022, Asian American households spent 11% more on retail annually compared to the average U.S. household. In order to effectively connect with this diverse and dynamic segment, brands must increase their Cultural Fluency. Culturally Fluent brands use culture to resonate with all consumers, across segments, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. In other words, connecting with Asian American consumers well can build halo effects towards connection with other multicultural consumers too. To honor Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and help brands better understand, engage, and support this segment, Collage Group is hosting a webinar on May 3. This exciting presentation will highlight the top brands for this demographic, and the actions they’ve taken to become culturally fluent. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into Asian American consumers, learn how to resonate with them, and understand the benefits of cross-segment appeal through halo effects. Register to attend and watch it again here after May 3rd. |

Recognizing the U.S. Asian American Pacific Islander Diaspora Through Meaningful Storytelling Marketing content targeting Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) consumers is more effective when reflective of the group’s rich diversity. The U.S. AAPI diaspora is diverse and complex. It encompasses people from all parts of Asia as well as the Pacific Islands. At almost 19 million strong (about the population of New York), AAPI is nearly 7% of the United States population, wielding over $1.7 trillion in buying power. AAPI presence in popular culture has grown; In 2023, Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” highlighting the value of their stories. Despite their success, accurate representation of the AAPI diaspora in advertising has been lacking. They are instead often portrayed as one-dimensional in ways that uphold stereotypes. Including AAPI subject matter experts with authentic connections to the diaspora ensures authentic, nuanced representation of this segment in advertising which will deliver content that resonates in the heart and minds of these consumers.

Media Representation Matters Across All Asian American Cultures “As we have written before, the media plays a critical role in the way people see themselves and others in society. Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, coming up now in May, is an opportunity for media companies to assess whether their content and marketing efforts are inclusive of all Asian American cultures. While 4 in 10 (39%) Asian consumers feel they are seeing more nuanced portrayals of Asian characters and communities, another 4 in 10 (43%) feel they are seeing the same amount or less, according to our FOCUS Asian: Consumer Engagement 2022 report. Similarly, when it comes to advertising, Asian consumers are less likely to feel that brands are going out of their way to market and advertise to them, compared to their Black and Latinx counterparts. To gain the trust and loyalty of this diverse and nuanced audience and fill these content gaps, there’s a growing need for storytelling that shares the histories and cultures of the diversity of Asian experiences.” — Adriana Waterston, Chief Revenue Officer and Insights and Strategy Lead at Horowitz Research, adrianaw@horowitzresearch.com, 914-834-5999 |
