Season 5: Diversity In Advertising




The Age of Persuasion from CBC Radio show

Summary: This week, The Age of Persuasion looks at Diversity in Advertising. We'll trace the emergence of the minority market, the failure of Madison Avenue to recognize the spending power of that growing consumer base, and the struggles that people of colour had to be acknowledged as valued consumers. We'll also feature the first ads aimed at minorities, the first minority spokespeople, and the pioneers who broke ground.
