Asian American representation
Representation matters
Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) are a driving force in the U.S., both as cultural influencers and powerful consumers. At Nielsen, we’re relentlessly dedicated to understanding everything about the audience. Building on our role as the trusted source of measurement on media behaviors, content attributes and industry trends, we go deeper with a focus on diverse insights and inclusive intelligence. Discover the latest AANHPI insights and our work in AANHPI communities across the U.S.
Nielsen Diverse Intelligence Series
Our Diverse Intelligence Series explores diverse audiences’ unique media consumption habits and representation in media. The series is an industry resource to help brands better understand and reach diverse audiences. We also provide thought leadership to help publishers and content creators drive equity in media representation for underrepresented communities.
The triumph of Everything Everywhere All At Once at the 2023 Oscars highlighted the power of a story and characters that reflect real-life experiences. And the AANHPI audience has made it clear – through their voices and dollar spend – that they desire for their stories to be seen and heard. In our most recent AANHPI Diverse Intelligence Series report, Nielsen explores the media platforms and content that’s drawing Asian Americans.

About Asian Americans
#WashTheHate
Nielsen condemns any racism and discrimination against Asian Americans—who have recently suffered from attacks, negative imagery and sharp declines in business. Advertisers can rethink how and where ad campaigns are showing up to prevent placing ads in content with hate speech.
