Mattel EMEA’s Post

Hey Marketers, It's Pride Month, but ditch the rainbow washing! This year, focus on REAL connections with the LGBTQ+ community. Ditch the fluff, deliver value. Pride merch is cool, but what about creating a valuable resource for the LGBTQ+ community? Think Skittles- it shows you understand their needs. Partner with LGBTQ+ creators. Let the community own the narrative. Amplify their voices and showcase their talent. True advocacy is about empowering others, not just tooting your own horn. Pride is year-round. Don't be a one-month wonder. Integrate LGBTQ+ support into your brand like MAC Cosmetics. Real allyship is a long-term commitment. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+Ally #AuthenticMarketing

IT’S HERE: NEW year, new name, new logo, new website with LGBTQ+ resources for you to explore?! 1. We’re just “It Gets Better” now. That’s how you all refer to us (and so do we), so why not roll with it, right? We think The It Gets Better Project was juuust a lil long anyway. Plus, our work is no longer just a “project” — it’s a rallying cry for LGBTQ+ youth to see that they do have a place, things do get better, and we need them here to be our future leaders. Thanks to LGBTQ+ youth, we can make things better - period! 2. You can see here how our logo has changed a few times throughout the years, too - because just like the journey to discover who you are, we’re always growing and evolving. 3. We redesigned our website at itgetsbetter.org to make it easier than EVER for you to browse through It Gets Better videos and series, learn LGBTQ+ terms from our glossary, download free EduGuides, access resources, and more! Tours coming soon, but you can use the link in our bio to check it out for yourself right now. Hope you love the new look on us as we continue to empower LGBTQ+ youth to define their own journey. 💜 #itgetsbetter #newyear #newyou #newus #lgbtqyouth #equality #education #mentalhealth #glossary #lgbtqrights #transrights

As a Relationship Manager at Workplace Pride, Robert Corvers takes great pride in the work he does for our members and his community. Recently, Robert had the privilege to share his personal story and expertise on LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the workplace during a panel discussion at Squire Patton Boggs. 📽 You can view the video below. This opportunity was not just important; it was necessary. Globally, we are witnessing the resurgence of anti-gay laws in countries like Ghana, Russia, and even the US. Unfortunately, this often translates into increased discrimination and microaggressions against the LGBTIQ+ community. It is crucial for employers to not only acknowledge this issue but also take action. Prioritising inclusion aligns seamlessly with business objectives. It fosters a win-win situation – not only do satisfied employees result, but it also contributes to higher profits in the long run. #WorkplacePride #LGBTHistoryMonth  #InclusiveWorkplace  #LGBTIQ

We are working on some great new shows at Rivet360. What makes a podcast great? There are a lot of factors, including: 1) Passion. When there’s passion about the stories being told, then people put the extra time in to make sure everyone is getting the story right. 2) Planning. Like all other projects, setting up a show for success takes work. The planning part isn’t sexy, but it’s foundational. Really thinking through tone, audience, cadence, format, guests and music up front free you up to focus on the story arc of each episode later on. 3) Positioning. If you build it, they won’t come. You need to put the show in front of the listeners it’s intended for. Make it easy for them. Connor Whitley has been a dream client. He loves the subject matter of the show and is excited about all the voices we’re platforming. I think he actually does find the planning sexy! And he’s partnering with his marketing team to leverage all of Senior Planet’s comms channels.
