Wells Fargo and Marriott: Recent Case Studies in LGBT-inclusive Marketing
Workshop Description
Big companies have recently taken big steps in LGBT-inclusive advertising campaigns. Learn how Wells Fargo and Marriott both navigated internal and external hurdles to create meaningful advertising that authentically represented the LGBT community. Considerations such as how ideas were sold to executive leaders, amplification of positive reaction, and mitigation of negative response will all be explored. Case studies will include Marriott's on-going LGBT-focused #LoveTravels campaign and Wells Fargo's recent national television commercial featuring a lesbian couple working to learn sign language prior to adopting a deaf child.
