The Power of Diversity in Research

Welcome to another special episode of Talking Insights! Join us as we delve into The Art & Science of Innovation in Chicago earlier this month. Today, we’re excited to host Amy Hilliard and Pepper Miller to discuss the importance of understanding and incorporating Black insights in market research and branding. They emphasise the need to begin with understanding the history, beliefs, and behaviours of Black Americans while also highlighting the missed opportunities and blind spots in the industry and advocating for building diverse teams to enhance creativity and decision-making. The conversation also explores the impact of Rihanna's Fenty Beauty line in breaking barriers and creating representation in the beauty industry. Amy and Pepper stress the importance of relevant AI tools and data that include Black perspectives. The industry must pivot and approach the Black market holistically and innovatively.ESOMAR, ESOMARASI24, Market Research, ESOMARCongress, Black insights, Rihanna, Fenty Beauty Send us Fan Mail-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talking Insights is a Research World and Esomar production. Hosted by Antonio AlmeidaMusic by FreeMusicForVideo from PixabayGraphics by Brandon Heim-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you’d like to be featured in a future episode or share your story, send us an email at podcast@esomar.org.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subscribe to Esomar on Youtube - http://bit.ly/2Vk6j6a• Follow us on LinkedIn - http://bit.ly/2DrifcgEsomar 2025
