Normal science, the activity in which most scientists inevitably spend almost all their time, is predicated on the assumption that the scientific community knows what the world is like.

Knowledge is neither certain nor final. It is socially constructed. The evolution of knowledge does not proceed from lesser to greater truth. It is relative.

The Center for Multicultural Science was created to challenge the “status quo,” and help the marketing industry uncover new approaches to better accommodate a changing landscape.

Overview

The Center for Multicultural Science is the first non-profit 501c(3), non-partisan think tank in the United States dedicated to bridge the gap between leading corporations and academic researchers in multicultural marketing.

The mission of the Center for Multicultural Science is to provide world-class thought leadership in multicultural marketing with the goals of leading and renewing industry thinking and practice. The Center for Multicultural Science conducts, supports and disseminates research on multicultural marketing in the US and abroad.

The Journal

The Center for Multicultural Science formed a partnership in 2014 with UK-based Henry Stewart Publications to launch the Journal of Cultural Marketing Strategy, the first peer-reviewed, professional journal dedicated to the advancement of best practices and proven marketing strategies in cultural, multicultural and cross-cultural marketing in the US and abroad.

The Journal of Cultural Marketing Strategy is guided by its founding editor, Dr. Jake Beniflah, and an eminent editorial board consisting of leading cultural marketing experts, including: Gert Hofstede, Marieke De Mooij, David Acker, Philip Kotler, David W. Stewart, Gerardo Marin, and many others.

Founding members include:

American Association of Retired Persons (AARP); Asian American Advertising Federation (3AF); Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA); Black Media Matters Consortium; Bradley University; Burson-Marsteller; Clear (M&C Saatchi); d’Exposito & Partners; Entravision, Inc.; Facebook, Inc.; Garcia Research de México; Geometry Global (WPP); Hallmark, Inc.; Honda Motor Company; Identity (IPG); Lopez Negrete; Magna Global (IPG); McDonald’s; TNS (WPP).
