Beyond Tokenism: How Brands Can Get DEI Right

Marketing shapes how people see the world, but too often, it excludes real voices or relies on stereotypes. Consumers now expect more. They want brands to be truly inclusive, not just in ads but in how they hire, create, and communicate. How can businesses move beyond tokenism and make inclusivity a core part of what they do? We explore this and more with Nizwani Shahar, CEO of Havas Malaysia.
