As Kantar Futures has stated before: Polycultural America is NO POLYTOPIA. Confrontation is in fact the state of the union. Polycultural America is more divided than ever, polarized on key issues such as the protection of minority groups, gun policy, immigration, healthcare and other key issues. This polarization results in a hostile environment in which those who feel vulnerable are uniting with like-minded individuals in search of support, security and a sense of hope.

• What do you need to learn about each minority group’s needs and aspirations in order to effectively connect with them?
• Do the current approaches—such as the total market or the targeted strategy—work in isolation in this kind of environment? Or is another strategy required?
THIS CONTEXT OF FRAGMENTATION AND POLARIZATION CREATES NEW QUESTIONS FOR MARKETERS, SUCH AS:
