MEET Adriana Waterston Executive Vice President and Insights & Strategy Lead, Horowitz Research Meet ADRIANA WATERSTON, Executive Vice President of Insights and Strategy for Horowitz Research, which in 2023 became a division of M/A/R/C Research. Adriana oversees Horowitz’s multicultural practice, providing research and insights to inform the development of their clients’ programming, distribution, marketing, advertising, branding, and positioning strategies to reach and resonate with America’s Hispanic/Latinx, Black, Asian, Gen Z, LGBTQIA+, and international audiences, among other diverse segments. Her work has spanned the U.S. as well as the Caribbean, LATAM, and Europe. Adriana is a pioneer in the multicultural space for the cable industry. Born in Puerto Rico to Cuban and Jewish parents and a graduate of Brandeis University with a degree in Cultural Studies, Adriana joined the industry in 2001 when multicultural consumers were not prioritized and often redlined and dramatically underserved. She has since become the face and voice for diverse audiences, using research to drive awareness and make the business case for investments in resonant programming and marketing for the “new general market”— America’s multicultural majority. In this Leadership Talk, we will cover: - Adriana's career journey - How she finds the story behind the statistics - Her take on the current state of DEI in the industry - Her advice for aspiring future leaders and fellow research and data junkies For more on Adriana, go to: https://www.futurenowmediafoundation.org/programs We will have a Q&A with the audience.
