You need to do before you talk. Diversity and inclusion must permeate the whole organization, and that's a much slower process than something like buying media. If you try something with DEI and inclusion, but have weaknesses internally, it shows. It can come across as very inauthentic, and you risk getting called out. DEI and inclusion starts internally, and continues internally forever.
In terms of marketing, what does inclusion mean for a brand like NotCo? Do you tailor messages about plant-based food to every demographic?

Learn from them.On the brand side, having a diverse team, with divergent points of view, will always lead to better results.
