Understanding Cultural Identities for More Intuitive Marketing with Aaron GlynWilliams

The Multicultural Marketing Podcast with Sharifa Khan

How can understanding cultural identities help you to intuitively connect more deeply with your audiences? In this episode, special guest Aaron GlenWilliams, Chief of Staff at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), answers this question, sharing insights from his remarkable career to date. This is a masterclass on how to speak to audiences in a more personal, targeted, and authentic way!
Aaron walks us through how understanding the nuances of cultural identities has enabled OLG to produce some wildly successful, award-winning campaigns that have instinctively engaged and built loyalty with Ontario's many multicultural communities.
He also shares how he and his team harness the power of data to mine for cultural insights. Take a tour behind the scenes with Aaron on some of his most memorable projects, from OLG, the Pan-American Games, Pride Toronto, and one initiative he is most proud of - opening the Nia Centre for the Arts (Canada's first arts centre dedicated exclusively to supporting and profiling Black talent).
Through it all, learn how understanding the unique behaviours of certain cultural groups can be key to taking your marketing impact to new heights.
