AlterConf NYC 2016 - It's not Lit: Strategies for Exposing and Eliminating Cultural Appropriation in Marketing by Candace Williams From tweets written by agency agency staffers, to tech talk slides and “witty” cafe chalkboard signs, the use of appropriated artifacts and slurs has been normalized in product and service marketing.
