Four C’s of Multicultural Marketing – Tracy Lewis
Cultural Awareness – eliminating fear, perception, criticism, preconceptions, doesn’t imply endorsement
Commitment – Long Term
Creativity – throw out the box
Christ-Centered – don’t sacrifice the message…but don’t limit the reach of it…

To accomplish this, you will need to have Multi-Cultural Awareness (Find Commonalities, Embrace Differences, Overcome the fear of honesty), Appropriate Application (Be Authentic, Know your Audience), and have a Strategy (Build conviction through scripture, Affirm diversity through identity and vision, Build a multi-cultural leadership and staff, Enjoy Progress and anticipate problems).
