New Getty Images research shows that 8 in 10 people expect companies to be consistently committed to inclusivity and diversity in their advertising

August 17, 2020

Pioneer of visual trend methodology, Getty Images reveals new insights from its second global survey, with over 5,000 consumers across 26 countries and in 13 languages surveyed

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Nearly 80% of people globally have said it isn’t enough to have people of various ethnicities, backgrounds, and appearances in advertising but that they expect companies to do a better job at capturing people’s true lifestyles and cultures, according to new research by Getty Images. The findings have been revealed in a second wave of research for Visual GPS, completed in conjunction with global market research firm YouGov.

The Visual GPS Summer Update also reveals that 63% of people prefer to buy brands that are founded by or represent people like themselves. These results hold steady across generations and gender, with only modest differences across global regions.

“Visual GPS shows that amid the COVID-19 pandemic and despite massive changes in people’s lives, the demand for more diversity in visual communications has only increased,” said Dr Rebecca Swift, Global Head of Creative Insights at Getty Images.

The company reports similar findings in its global customer search data:

Searches have increased year over year for ‘diversity’ (up 133%), ‘culture’ (up 115%), ‘real people’ (up 115%) and ‘inclusion’ (up 126%).
From May to June alone customer searches for diverse images increased by 200% and searches for images around unity and equality increased by 500%, trends that are believed to be intensified due to anti-racism protests.

This second wave of Visual GPS findings around representation is the latest effort by Getty Images to address underrepresentation and misrepresentation of different groups in visual communications. The company has spent over a decade working to break down stereotypes and create more authentic content which it has done through commercial imagery collections including Muslimgirl.com, Nosotros, The Disability Collection and Project ShowUs.

Findings around Bias and Discrimination:

62% of people feel they have been discriminated against, with this more common among Gen Z relative to other generations, among women relative to men, and by consumers in the Americas, relative to Europe and APAC.
57% of respondents in North America say they experience discrimination based on the color of their skin, compared to Europe and APAC.
53% of respondents in North America also see discrimination as being based in people making assumptions about their background, more so than any other region.
In Europe, more than half (56%) of people who feel discriminated against feel so because of assumptions being made about their nationality or country of origin.
Of people who feel they have been discriminated against, only 14% say they are well-represented in advertising and 15% in business communications.

To partner the new report, Getty Images has released an Inclusive Visual Search Guide designed to assist brands and businesses in making intentional content choices which drive authentic and inclusive representation in visual communications.

WorldRemit Becomes the First Money Transfer Company to Partner with albo and Klar

August 13, 2020

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — WorldRemit, a leading international payments company has entered into partnerships with two of Mexico’s fastest growing neobanks, albo and Klar.

“We are delighted about the alliance with WorldRemit since it will allow our users in Klar to receive remittances from over 50 countries around the world”, commented Rafael Sainz, Strategic Partnerships Manager at Klar.

Among other benefits of albo and Klar are the fast account opening process, utility bill payments and no minimum balances.

CVS Health to Hire Hundreds of New Jobs Across Arizona

August 13, 2020

WOONSOCKET, Rhode Island, Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In anticipation of the increased demand for influenza vaccinations and the likely ongoing presence of COVID-19 this fall, CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) announced today the hiring of approximately 300 new jobs throughout Arizona over the coming months.

The new roles are seasonal and for part-time and full-time licensed pharmacy technicians at CVS Pharmacy locations. The positions will be filled as soon as possible. Some seasonal employees will have the opportunity to apply for or be promoted into permanent roles with the company.

Working under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist, pharmacy technicians process prescriptions, dispense medications, provide information to customers or health professionals and perform administrative tasks. They also are vital to administering the COVID-19 test at CVS Pharmacy’s 93 drive-thru testing sites across Arizona to help curb the spread of the virus and expand access to care, particularly in underserved neighborhoods.

“Additional team members typically are needed every fall flu season,” said Tobin Zdarko, Region Director, CVS Pharmacy. “However, we are estimating a much greater need for pharmacy technicians this year given the anticipated rise in demand for flu shots and other immunizations, along with the continued presence of COVID-19 in the community. These jobs offer Arizona residents a rewarding career opportunity, with flexible hours, advancement potential and a supportive environment while helping people on their path to better health.”

The influx of new jobs comes at a time of record-high unemployment rates across Arizona and nationwide due to the coronavirus.

“This expansion by CVS Health is an important addition to the state’s health care community and will further strengthen efforts to keep Arizonans safe and healthy,” said Governor Doug Ducey. “We thank CVS Health for its ongoing commitment to our state, and for investing in hundreds of jobs in Arizona.”

To be hired, applicants must have obtained at least a technician in training license. This certification is valid for up to three years, by which time the trainee is required to pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam to remain a technician.

Interested job seekers can go to cvs.jobs to apply.

Removery’s INK-nitiative Will Remove Racist and Hate Tattoos For Free

August 12, 2020

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In celebration of National Tattoo Removal Day on August 14, 2020, Removery – the largest specialized provider of tattoo removal, change, and fade services in the world – will launch INK-nitiative. This program provides safe, effective, and free tattoo removal services for the formerly incarcerated, members of organized gangs, survivors of human trafficking or domestic abuse, or anyone wanting to remove radicalized, hateful, or racist tattoos.

Every client who completes a tattoo removal at Removery contributes to the program – for each paying customer, the company will donate one complete removal to someone who meets the program criteria. The community outreach initiative aims to free people of destructive images or painful reminders of the past and help them usher in a brighter future.

“Removery is a place of inclusion and empowerment, and we are committed to eradicating sources of discrimination, injustice, and hate,” said Tom Weber, CEO of Removery. “Through INK-nitiative, we provide an important tool for people who want to make real change in their lives, inspire others, and confidently walk the path of positive self-reinvention. And every customer who undertakes their tattoo removal journey with us is a vital part of INK-nitiative, giving someone else the gift of renewal.”

INK-nitiative is a reinvention of the INK program, a similar initiative developed by Removery predecessor, The Finery. INK (I Now Know) helped more than 150 clients remove tattoos that were a result of prison culture indoctrination, as well as “branding tattoos” forced on victims of human trafficking, and has had an influx of interest in hate tattoo removal in recent months.

Terrance Lewis, who spent 21 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, got his tattoos removed through the INK program. He founded the Terrance Lewis Liberation Foundation to advocate for others who have been wrongfully convicted and challenge police and prosecutorial misconduct.

“My tattoos helped me survive the pain of prison, but when I got out, they did not reflect who I wanted to be or how I wanted to commit my life,” said Lewis. “By removing the physical scars of my past, I have a clean slate to embark upon the next chapter of my life and career, now working to reform the criminal justice system. I am forever grateful.”

Christian Picciolini, a former violent extremist, is a peace advocate, author, producer, and public speaker who had his own racist tattoos removed and now helps others overcome hate. He leads the Free Radicals Project, a global extremism prevention and disengagement network and one of many like-minded organizations helping to promote the new initiative.

“True disengagement from hate and extremism is a long and difficult process that involves much self-reflection, undergoing numerous changes, and working hard to make amends for the pain and harm caused,” said Picciolini. “Shedding the physical hate on one’s body is an important step in building a new life rooted in love. Free Radicals is excited to support Removery as they work to help former extremists on their path to create positive change.”
