Futureproof Your Brand: Reframing Equity in America Amid the DEI Backlash

As political and cultural tides shift, many organizations are rethinking how they communicate around equity, inclusion, and representation. Words like “DEI” may be fading from headlines, but the responsibility to reflect real people—and build trust across communities—is still critical.

So how do you move forward when the language you once used is no longer safe, clear, or effective?

This webinar brings together strategic and creative leaders from Alaniz Health, along with featured speaker Brian Thibodeau, to explore how brands can evolve with intention. You’ll learn how to clarify your message, reframe your identity, and communicate what matters—without compromising your values.

You’ll Learn:

  • How to navigate creative strategy through regulatory, political, and cultural constraints
  • Lessons from a national clinical trial brand evolution and the power of renaming
  • What underrepresented populations (URPs) actually want to see in branding—based on fresh survey data
  • A practical Brand Communication Framework to align internal vision with external storytelling
  • How to balance aspiration with authenticity in a way that builds trust
  • A live brand redesign, based on real attendee submissions

Bonus Resource

All attendees will receive the Rebrand Starter Kit, featuring:

Five Questions to Guide a More Intentional Brand, developed by Brian Thibodeau.
