ICYMI: Telling Your DEI Story

Last week, Diversity Works hosted an informative discussion about how to leverage the media to tell your DEI story. Kristofer Eisenla and Brad Luna of LUNA+EISENLA media shared research showing that one-third of reporters and editors surveyed are looking for stories on furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a slightly higher percentage are looking for “feel good” stories about how companies and communities are helping others.

Despite this demand for compelling DEI stories, Kris and Brad also shared research showing that reporters are as spread thin as ever, with most covering multiple beats and filing 10 or more stories per week. The key is to think about how you can stand out in the crowd.

One of their case studies that really stood out involved a new channel for LGBTQ+ content curated by Comcast Xfinity, which reaches about 20 million households in the U.S. The idea for the curated content channel stemmed from the company’s LGBTQ+ affinity group of employees and allies who wanted to see their interests reflected in their employer’s lineup. As a result, Comcast scored points for representation and attracted new customers to its platform.

You can watch the full presentation here. Send Kris and Brad an email to find out how they can help you leverage the media to tell your DEI story.

DIVERSITY WORKS EXCHANGE

The Diversity Works Exchange (DWX) is a learning collaborative that helps organizations set goals and improve performance around workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Our approach provides comparably situated, like-minded employers with a safe space to learn from DEI experts and interact with peers who are facing or are successfully addressing similar challenges.

The DWX is designed to help organizations improve across a wide range of DEI competencies, but each cohort selects its own priorities. Diversity Works creates a custom curriculum for each cohort and facilitates the learning process through a combination of online or in-person convenings, interactive webinars, and one-on-one coaching. We create a private, unlisted LinkedIn group for each cohort that allows participants to engage their peers and DEI experts at any time during their DWX term and beyond.

DEI LEADER NETWORK

The DEI Leader Network is a free resource for DEI professionals. We created the network because DEI leaders often feel isolated in their role and benefit from networking with their peers. To join the DEI Leader Network, please get in touch.
