But while multicultural media generated strong growth in 2022 – as did most US media segments, particularly those that shined in the multicultural segments, such as experiential marketing, influencer marketing, content marketing, out-of-home advertising and pure-play digital media – growth slowed in 2023 across the multiethnic media sector due to several key variables. Among them, fears of an impending economic recession that never materialized; the US Supreme Court reversing its ruling on affirmative action at universities; and the reaction of the “Woke” movement, which led to negative financial impacts on major US brands, such as Target and Bud Light.
As a result, many of PQ Media’s diverse Global Opinion Leader Panelists reported that multicultural media budgets were reduced in 2023, particularly by newer emerging brands. Nevertheless, the strong positive momentum in these growing markets is outweighing the negative events occurring on the perimeter. For example, multicultural media financial investments have begun to increase in late 2023 and into 2024, such as The Pivot Fund aimed at expanding minority news sources. Additionally, political media buying – both advertising and marketing – on multicultural media outlets is projected to surge in 2024.
In the meantime, overall multicultural media spending in the US accounted for only 5.3% of total US ad & marketing spend in 2023, a minor uptick from the 5.2% share acquired in 2017. To put this into context, consider that multicultural consumers make up nearly 40% of the total US population. So, while Hispanic, African and Asian Americans combined have constituted the fastest growing demographic in the country for years, multicultural media growth has conversely underperformed the broader US media industry and still accounts for a mere sliver of the overall American pie.
However, PQ Media analysts see this changing progressively during the next several years, as experiential marketing, influencer marketing, content marketing, out-of-home advertising and pure-play digital advertising are set to post their highest growth rates of all time in, not only the multicultural media sector, but the overall US ad & marketing industry.
And the primary beneficiary of this shift is projected to be the Hispanic American market, which is expected to be one of the most important constituents of any political candidate seeking a high state or federal office in 2024, particularly in the largest states with the most votes, such as Florida, Texas and California. For instance, Hispanic-targeted radio stations are projecting a 25% gain to $41 million in the 2024 US political cycle, as candidates seek to reach more of the growing Hispanic electorate.
Projecting out further, PQ Media’s research indicates there is growing anticipation around FIFA’s 2026 World Cup in North America, which may completely disrupt the US soccer landscape, firmly positioning the country on the map as a soccer powerhouse.
“Liga MX’s US commercial rights have found an exclusive home with TelevisaUnivision, creating an historic partnership and elevating the company’s position as the premier destination for brands looking to integrate into the world of soccer, leading to a deeper and growing appeal of the soccer culture among major brands,” said PQ Media CEO & Founder Patrick Quinn. “In short, the 2026 FIFA World Cup could be the phenomenon that finally supercharges the multicultural markets – and particularly the largest and fastest growing demographic therein, Hispanic Americans – into the double-digit range of total US media spend for the first time ever.”
According to PQ Media’s new research, spending on overall multicultural television is projected to increase 2.3% in 2023 to $9.65 billion, making TV the largest multiethnic medium. Ranking as second largest is relationship marketing, which is expected to rise 1.3% in 2023 to $5.31 billion, followed by pure-play digital media, which is forecast to grow 10.5% $4.97 billion, according to the US Multicultural Media Forecast 2023-2027.
Meanwhile, the fastest growing multicultural media in 2023 were Experiential Marketing, which is on pace to grow 15.2% to $3.54 billion this year, followed by Influencer Marketing, which is projected to jump 13.6% to $1.78 billion, and Branded & Content Marketing, which is set to end this year with an 11.8% expansion to $1.50 billion, according to PQ Media.

SALABERRY DE VALLEYFIELD, QC, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — L’Association des Médecins Omnipraticiens du Sud-Ouest (AMOSO) held its Annual General Assembly, co-hosted by AMOSO Vice President Dr. Philippe Smith and President Dr. Sylvain Dufresne. This exclusive event, intended for AMOSO members, was held on the 23rd of November at Manior Grant. Nearly 100 distinguished physicians are expected to attend this flagship meeting.
The day-long conference began with a Continuing Medical Education (CME) congress, meticulously curated and hosted by Dr. Kaho Tong. This congress was designed to foster professional development and deliver the latest insights in medical specialties.
“As we convene for this year, it provides a time of reflection and anticipation. We’re not just sharing knowledge and insights, but shaping the future of healthcare in our region,” says Dr. Smith. “This assembly is a testament to our collective commitment to excellence in medical practice and our dedication to the continual improvement of patient care.

Since first announcing its entry into the Alpha-1 market a year ago, AvevoRx has expanded its national footprint to 26 states and has reached limited distribution agreements for the leading Alpha-1 drugs. This class of intravenous biologicals is derived from human plasma and is used to treat a rare form of congenital emphysema, often caused by a patient’s Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Of the four drugs in this class currently approved for use in the U.S., AvevoRx now dispenses and administers three: Glassia®, Aralast®, and Zemaira®.
The prevalence of AAT deficiency is relatively low and largely confined to individuals of European descent. According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 1 in 1,500 to 1 in 3,500 individuals may have the condition. Though it is considered rare, the NIH estimates that 80,000 to 100,000 individuals in the United States have a severe deficiency of AAT, suggesting that the disease is under-recognized.
These figures could be behind larger pharmacies deciding to cut back on investments that support a relatively small patient population. For independent specialty pharmacies like AvevoRx, these figures present an opportunity to expand investments in the underserved Alpha-1 community; this includes access to patient support groups, advocacy resources, and dedicated customer service professionals who understand how to manage an AAT deficiency.
“With more than 150 years of dedicated Alpha-1 expertise combined, the AvevoRx teams provide a greater selection of services than many larger pharmacies can. We can also prioritize adaptability and personalized patient experiences,” stated Ric Logsdon, Alpha-1 program manager for AvevoRx. “As we further operationalize our commitment to these treatments, we proudly address a critical need within the community while enhancing how we deliver care.”
Testing for Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is encouraged for those at high risk of inheriting this disorder through a physician or conducted anonymously. For more information, visit Alpha1.org.
AvevoRx delivers speed, service, and simplicity to patients needing specialty infusion treatments in 26 states, or as much as 70 percent of the U.S. population. Visit AvevoRx.com for more information.
