In today’s increasingly globalized world, Australia’s vast diversity of cultures presents a rising opportunity for businesses to reach new audiences and grow their market share. According to the latest ABS Census data, nearly half of Australia’s population has at least one parent born overseas, accentuating the importance of crafting campaigns that resonate with multicultural communities. For those looking to thrive in 2025, multicultural marketing is a definitive and meaningful point of differentiation.
At LEBA Ethnic Media, we specialize in connecting businesses with multicultural audiences through our diverse suite of media services and decades of experience, including Multicultural Press, Multicultural Radio, Multicultural TV, Programmatic Digital Advertising, Chinese Social Media and PR & Native Advertising Services. Here are the top strategies we recommend to help you succeed.
1) Leverage Multicultural Press for Authentic Storytelling
Ethnic newspapers and magazines remain a trusted source of information within multicultural communities. They are more than just publications—they are platforms that understand and reflect the nuances of their audiences’ cultures, values, and languages.
Why It Works:

Radio has a unique ability to foster intimacy with its audience, especially within multicultural communities, where listeners often tune in for news and music in their native language.
Why It Works:

⇀ Allows real-time interaction through live shows and call-ins.
LEBA’s Expertise:
