CULTURAL COMPETENCE

DWA is a boutique partner dedicated to helping brands drive value, sales and engagement in diverse markets. The rules for consuming content, engaging with organizations and deciding to purchase have changed. The collective effect of technology and influencers who do not represent the majority have reshaped the reasons and speed with which a brand is chosen. To be successful, companies and brands must go deeper. Consumers want relationship and community in exchange for their loyalty. They want to know you not only understand but respect them. We call this cultural competence.

At DWA, we have proven expertise with helping companies and brands define value, increase influence, improve performance and, most importantly, deliver meaningful experiences for diverse populations. We offer value-led consumer strategies; culturally-resonant communications and creative; and platforms and programs that deliver social impact. And whether we operate as an extension of their marketing team, the entire marketing team, or a behind-the-scenes partner, we bring production and technological capabilities unique for firms of our size. 

Connect. Influence. Inspire Action.

Providing innovative solutions to increase influence, improve performance, and most importantly deliver meaningful impact.

HUMAN VALUES AND CONNECTIONS WIN EVERY TIME.

America is changing, but too many brands still operate from superficial nods to culture, clichés, subtle stereotypes — and, unfortunately, missing opportunities in ways that aren't always reflected in data. Today, effective brands must be inclusive, connect sincerely and deliver content consistently.
