It was a tough time back then for a Black ballplayer. But the Dodgers weren't trying to advance the cause of civil rights. They signed Robinson because they wanted to win. P&G embraces multicultural marketing because they, like the Dodgers, want to win! First, P&G's overall philosophy toward multicultural marketing is that it is key to their business success. It is an important driver for maintaining current and attracting new business. Second, the success of multicultural marketing, like any marketing effort, must have senior management buy-in along with the company's commitment to the plan. P&G's senior managers not only sanction multicultural marketing, but are actively engaged and involved in the process Another characteristic of P&G's best-practice approach is the inclusion of ethnic agency business partners in their marketing strategy discussions early and often, thus recognizing the agencies as full partners during the process. "Partner" is the key word here. Additionally, P&G invests in relevant research, has a number of ethnic female upper level managers, is listed as one of Essence Magazine's top 50 companies for Black women **Brooklyn Dodgers when they signed Jackie Robinson.
