Diversity in Advertising a guide to getting it right

The Feeling Seen report in which inclusive advertising was judged by real, diverse audiences proves that brands who get diversity right benefit hugely. The best diverse ads are popular with everyone, but groups who feel represented by the ads react with particular emotion and intensity. Diverse advertising isn’t just about ‘doing good’ – it leads to greater engagement and greater commercial effectiveness.

In Partnership With

How Diverse Advertising Unites Us

Catch up on our Diversity webinar which we ran in July 2021, which explored how more diverse advertising connects better not only with those groups directly represented on screen, but also the public at large. By analysing 30 positively diverse and inclusive TV ads, using System1’s unique FaceTrace™ methodology, this session shares the response from across 10,000 people, including those with disabilities, Black British, Asian British, LGBTQ+, female and older aged groups.

  • Read a glimpse of Feeling Seen UK

    The report titled Feeling Seen found that diverse advertising unites us all – ads that tell great, relatable stories about people’s lives evoke the greatest emotional response.

    View Report

In compiling this research, we took ads which prominently featured people from groups we felt advertisers may not be serving well and set out to find out if they created positive emotions – and it was important that these were not simply people from the communities featured but by the population as a whole. What we found was incredibly uplifting - it confirmed that those that felt seen felt good and celebrating different lives and cultures unites us. What is good for society is also good for business
