Inclusion and equity in product innovation, with Google
In the wake of Kantar’s 2024 Brand Inclusion Index launch, listen to how Google, the world’s most inclusive brand, embeds inclusion and equity into every aspect of their product innovation, planning, and marketing by centering the most marginalized voices at every phase of the process. In this episode, Valeria Piaggio, Kantar’s Global Head of DEI, is joined by Annie Jean-Baptiste, Founder and Director of Product Inclusion and Equity at Google along with Nate Guild, Product Strategy & Operations Lead at Google for Product Inclusion. Hear Annie and Nate talk about the significance of inclusion and equity in product innovation, their reactions to winning the most inclusive brand globally, and plans for the future such as the Global Product Equity Day and the concept of Breakers. The Brand Inclusion Index measures people's perceptions on brand’s diversity, equity, and inclusion, as part of the study we ask participants to give an award to the most inclusive brand. Kantar’s Brand Inclusion Index over-represents the under-represented to tap into the voices of often overlooked, underserved populations.
