Key takeaways

The key to having a diverse and inclusive understanding of your consumer base is to look out for drivers or needs regardless of ethnicity or gender.

If demographics in your surveys are irrelevant to the brand or product, the best option is to not ask about it at all.

Because the market research sector is not diverse enough, attracting more diverse talent is critical.

The culture of a firm is formed by what its employees are willing to tolerate or not.
