Panel: Another Country - Assessing Economic Opportunities Amongst LGBTQ Consumers
By some estimates, the LGBTQ population’s share of global wealth is a multi-trillion dollar economic opportunity largely overlooked by modern business. Indeed, despite significant strides by prominent corporations toward highlighting same-sex couples or LGBTQ-identifying actors in major marketing initiatives, many organizations still seem reluctant to openly court LGBTQ consumers or disrupt a pervasive heteronormative ontology. This discussion examines how regional and global businesses can best engage and win support of LGBTQ clientele in an era of rampant consumer empowerment and engagement.
